About This Bidjar

Where it comes from

A Bidjar, also written Bijar, from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 323 x 210 cm (10'7" x 6'11"). Known across Persia as the iron rugs, Bidjars carry a density of knotting no other Persian tradition matches, in a structure so compact it can only be rolled, never folded. This piece was knotted from memory rather than a drawn cartoon, in the tribal manner of the region.

What you see

The field is a deep rust red, dense with a small repeating Mahi pattern from edge to edge. Down its centre stand three navy diamond medallions, stacked one above the other rather than gathered into one central form, each edged in cream and touched with rose and sage. The same navy returns in a wide border of palmette vinery in cream, rose and rust, taking up close to a fifth of the width and holding the field firmly in place.

How it was made

441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre puts this piece near the top of what Bidjar weaving reaches. Wool carries the pile, but silk runs through it too, and silk spins finer, letting the weaver tie a knot small enough to keep the medallions' edges sharp. A short 15 mm pile and a cotton warp keep the surface tight, with the faint ribbing at the fringe a weave this dense produces. None of it was drawn out in advance: the evenness is memory, held steady over months at the loom.

At home

At 323 x 210 cm, this suits a dining table or a sofa group, in a living or dining room used daily. The rust field warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the navy medallions keep the eye anchored. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for that kind of use rather than a room kept for best. In afternoon light the rust deepens and the cream vine along the border catches first, the same steady rhythm the weaver held from memory now catching the eye anew.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 323 × 210 cm (6.78 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.

Is this rug hand-knotted?

Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 6.78 m² that is roughly 3.0 to 3.4 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.

How do I care for this rug?

This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
