About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, the densest weave in the Persian tradition and knotted by Kurdish weavers in western Iran, the type once nicknamed the Iron Rugs of Persia for a structure packed so tight it can only be rolled, never folded. At 238 x 170 cm (7'10" x 5'7"), this piece suits a seating group or a bedroom.
What you see
A deep, saturated brick red fills the field, its intensity broken only where a large medallion floats at the centre, its core worked in ivory around a small nested diamond. Dark navy spandrels anchor the four corners, holding the medallion in place against the red ground. Across the field runs a fine, small-scale herati repeat, the mahi pattern of fish-like leaves circling flowers. A wide ivory border, filled with red and navy palmette-and-vine scrollwork, closes the design, its pale ground echoing the medallion's ivory core.
How it was made
This clarity comes from density. At 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, the weavers could draw the medallion's outline and the border's scrollwork sharply, so ivory and navy hold their edges against the red rather than blurring into it. The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, clipped to 15 mm, giving the surface a slight natural sheen and real substance underfoot. Reaching this density by hand, knot by knot, takes months at the loom.
At home
At 238 x 170 cm this suits a living room seating area or a bedroom, holding its own against dark wood floors and warming a paler one. The dense weave presses firm underfoot, made for daily use rather than kept for best. As daylight moves across it, the ivory medallion and navy corners stay crisp, never dissolving into the red beneath them.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 238 × 170 cm (4.05 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 4.05 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 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.
