About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, from the Kurdish regions of west Iran, nicknamed the Iron Rugs of Persia for the density and strength of their weave. This piece measures 342 x 258 cm (11'3" x 8'6"). Bidjars are prized above all for how they wear: pressed so tight at the loom that they can only be rolled, never folded, and hold their form for decades.
What you see
The first impression is a deep brick red, repeated so evenly that from a distance it reads almost like a woven print. Closer in, the red resolves into a dense, all-over lattice of the Mahi, or Herati, pattern, diamond after diamond with no central medallion to interrupt it. Small ivory rosettes sit at each crossing, with quiet touches of teal and pink running through. A wide, near-black border of red and cream floral vines closes the field, edged by narrow teal and cream guard stripes.
How it was made
That evenness is a matter of construction as much as drawing. Bidjars carry the densest knot count in the Persian tradition, and this one falls between 501,000 and 640,000 knots per square metre, work that occupies a loom for months. The pile is wool blended with silk over a cotton warp: silk spins far finer than wool, so knots sit closer together, giving the sharp edges visible in the lattice and the border's vines. At 15 mm the pile still feels substantial underfoot.
At home
A rug this size suits a dining table with room to spare, or a seating group in a living room. The brick red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built to be walked on rather than kept for best. Morning light lifts the ivory rosettes and teal accents, and the pattern shifts gently through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 342 × 258 cm (8.82 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre; across 8.82 m² that is roughly 4.4 to 5.6 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.
