About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar, also written Bidjar, the dense-woven rug of Kurdish Iran long known as the Iron Rug of Persia for a structure so tightly pressed it can only be rolled, never folded. This piece measures 320 x 168 cm (10'6" x 5'6"). Bijar weavers work from memory rather than a drawn plan, yet the drawing on this one is unusually crisp and exact.
What you see
The first impression is a bold ivory medallion glowing against a rich, deep red field. It is large and multi-lobed, its outline so finely and evenly drawn that it reads almost like lace laid over the darker navy ground behind it. Around it the red field is packed close with small palmettes and fine vinery, and navy spandrels fill each corner. A wide navy border, carrying the same red-and-cream floral scroll, closes the composition, taking close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
This precision comes from a hand-knotted density of 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre, among the highest in the Persian tradition, packed so tight that the wool is pressed rather than simply knotted into its cotton foundation. That closeness is what lets the medallion's outline stay fine and unbroken across the whole field. The pile is handspun wool, shorn to a modest 15 millimetres, taking the dye with the slight unevenness only hand-spinning gives, so the red never sits quite flat.
At home
This is a dining room rug, long enough to sit under a table with chairs pulled back on every side. The red field holds its own against dark wood and warms a room with pale flooring. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for the passing of chairs and feet, not for careful stepping around it. Morning light catches the ivory medallion first, and keeps catching it all day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 320 × 168 cm (5.38 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 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre; across 5.38 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.7 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
