About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar runner from the Kurdish region of western Iran, 314 x 89 cm (10'3" x 2'11"). Bijar is known across the trade as one of the Iron Rugs of Persia, prized for a density that no other Persian weaving quite matches and for holding its shape and edge for decades. Here that same structure has been drawn into an unusually long, narrow field.
What you see
The first impression is a deep brick red, closely worked with the small repeating fish-and-rosette motifs known as Mahi. Down its length run three medallions on navy-black grounds with pale ivory centres, each linked to the next by small diamond-shaped floral pendants rather than left standing alone. The result reads as a chain, a procession of medallions along the field rather than one fixed centrepiece. A wide cream floral-vine border, edged by a thin dark guard stripe, holds the red firmly inside it.
How it was made
That density is not just a figure on a label: at 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, this sits among the tightest knotting in the Persian tradition, work that took months at the loom. The pile is wool with an admixture of silk, and silk spins far finer than wool, allowing a tighter, more exact knot — which is why the medallions and the border vine hold such crisp edges and carry a light sheen across the field. Packed this densely, at a 15 mm clip, the rug cannot be folded, only rolled.
At home
A runner of this length suits a hallway or landing, somewhere the eye travels along it rather than taking it in at once. Against pale floorboards the red will warm a corridor that gets little daylight, and the navy medallions hold their own even in low light. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily crossing rather than careful stepping around. Walking its length, the three medallions mark the way like stepping stones, each one catching what light there is as you pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 314 × 89 cm (2.79 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
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 2.79 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 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.
