About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar runner from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 254 x 64 cm (8'4" x 2'1"), a type long nicknamed "the iron rugs of Persia" for a density and hold that few other weavings match. Bijars are knotted, not woven to a plan in the tribal sense but built up from memory on a portable loom, and the discipline of the weave sits alongside a deliberate, hand-kept irregularity, also written Bidjar in the trade.
What you see
The eye lands first on a deep navy ground, filled edge to edge with the small repeating Mahi fish pattern that gives Persian design its restless, watery texture. Down the centre of this ground march four ivory diamond medallions, evenly spaced like beads on a thread, so the pattern reads as a procession rather than a single focal point. Where the diamonds draw close, small sprigs of green and pink break in among the navy and ivory, the only departure from an otherwise strict red-navy-ivory scheme. A broad brick-red floral border, edged by a narrow navy-and-ivory guard stripe, closes the design and holds the whole runner together.
How it was made
The knot count here runs to 441,000-500,000 per square metre, among the densest a hand-knotted rug can carry, and it is this density that keeps four diamonds and a field of small motifs so precisely drawn despite being set out from memory rather than a cartoon. The pile is wool with an addition of silk, and silk spins far finer than wool, so it lets the knotter pack in the extra detail along each diamond's edge without the outline blurring. At 15mm the pile is clipped low and flat, and the resulting structure is so compact and firm that Bijars of this kind are never folded, only rolled.
At home
A runner this size belongs in a hallway or along a landing, somewhere it is seen in passing rather than all at once. The navy ground holds its own in a corridor with little daylight, while the brick-red border and ivory medallions carry enough warmth to lift the space instead of darkening it. Underfoot it is dense, firm and substantial, a weave built for daily footsteps rather than careful preservation. Watch the light travel down it through the day and the silk in those ivory diamonds catches first, one bead brightening after another.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 254 × 64 cm (1.63 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 1.63 m² that is roughly 720,000 to 810,000 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.
