About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar, also written Bidjar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 258 x 193 cm (8'6" x 6'4"). The type is known among collectors as one of the Iron Rugs of Persia, prized for a density of weave that few other Persian rugs attempt, and for holding its shape and edge through decades of use.
What you see
The first impression is a deep brick red, held firm by sharp navy corner spandrels and a pale ivory border. At the centre, a diamond medallion sits on the red Mahi field, its outline built from small stepped pendants rather than the rounded curves more common to Persian medallions, so the shape reads angular rather than soft. The same Mahi pattern fills the navy spandrels at each corner, tying field and corners together. A wide ivory border of palmettes and vinework, in camel and gold, closes the design, framed by thin red and navy guard stripes.
How it was made
A Bijar like this is hand-knotted onto a cotton warp, with hand-spun wool packed in at 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre, a density near the top of the Persian tradition. That density is what lets the weaver draw a stepped, angular medallion rather than a rounded one and keep every point sharp instead of blurred. It also presses the structure so compact that a Bijar can only be rolled, never folded, which is where the type gets both its name and its reputation for decades of hard wear.
At home
At 258 x 193 cm, this suits a dining table or a seating group in a living room, somewhere it is seen whole rather than in passing. The brick red warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the navy corners keep the whole design anchored. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than kept for best. As the light moves across the room through the day, the stepped points of the medallion stay crisp, never softening into a blur.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 258 × 193 cm (4.98 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 4.98 m² that is roughly 1.6 to 1.9 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.
