About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar runner from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 311 x 74 cm (10'2" x 2'5"). Bidjar, also written Bijar, is known throughout the Persian tradition as the densest of all knotted weaves, which earned it the name "the Iron Rug of Persia". That density is what gives the type its long, steady wear and its heavy, substantial feel underfoot, and it is worth knowing before you look at anything else.
What you see
The field reads first as a deep wine-red laid over a ground of dark navy and black. Down its length runs a close Mahi lattice, fish-scale rosettes locking together in a tight, all-over rhythm, and set into that field are four ivory medallions, evenly spaced and close to the same size as one another. They read less as separate ornaments than as a procession, one following the next down the runner. A red-ground border, narrow against the field, is framed by black stripes and a fine ivory floral vine.
How it was made
The pile is wool worked with silk, hand-knotted at a density of between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre — among the tightest counts a rug can carry, and months of work at the loom for a piece of this length. Silk spins far finer than wool, so it can be knotted more closely still, and that is what gives the medallions their crisp edge and the lattice its fine, unblurred detail. Set on a cotton warp with a 15 mm pile, the weave is so compact that a Bidjar is never folded, only rolled.
At home
A runner of this length belongs in a hallway or along a landing, somewhere it is seen in passing rather than all at once. Against a pale floor the wine-red and navy hold their depth even where daylight is thin, and the ivory medallions catch the eye one after another as you walk its length. The pile is tight and firm underfoot, built for a corridor used every day rather than one that needs protecting from it. Walk it in low sun and the silk in the pile answers back with a faint, moving sheen.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 311 × 74 cm (2.30 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 2.30 m² that is roughly 1.0 to 1.2 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.
