About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar, also written Bijar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 172 x 112 cm (5'8" x 3'8"). The type is nicknamed the iron rugs of Persia, and the name is earned: nowhere in the Persian tradition is a rug packed as densely, or built to hold its shape and edge for as long, even where feet cross it daily.
What you see
The eye goes first to a deep brick red, gathered into a large hexagonal medallion that sits on a cream lozenge at the centre of the field. Around it the ground turns navy-black in the corners, and against that dark field the red glows rather than simply sitting there. The medallion and its cream surround are traced in a fine floral lattice, drawn with unusual sharpness for this design, which more often softens the same motif into gentler tones. A wide border, roughly a sixth of the rug's width, carries the same red and cream in a serrated leaf-and-diamond band that holds the whole field in place.
How it was made
That crispness is not an accident of drawing but a result of how tightly this rug is built. It was knotted from memory, by hand, at a density of 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre — a cotton warp carrying a hand-spun wool pile, clipped to a firm 15 millimetres. At that density the wool is pressed rather than simply knotted, which is why a Bidjar cannot be folded and is only ever rolled, and why an edge drawn this fine survives instead of blurring with age.
At home
A rug this size settles naturally into a bedroom, at the foot of the bed or beneath a chair in the corner, or into a small reading nook off a hallway. The brick red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor equally well, while the navy corners keep it from ever looking too bright for a quiet room. Underfoot it is dense and firm rather than soft and yielding, built for a room that gets used rather than one kept for show. Morning light crossing the medallion is what you will keep noticing.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 172 × 112 cm (1.93 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre; across 1.93 m² that is roughly 480,000 to 620,000 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.
