About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 299 x 201 cm (9'10" x 6'7"). Known as one of the Iron Rugs of Persia, for a structure so dense the finished piece can only be rolled, never folded. Bidjar weavers are known for setting strong geometry against classical Persian floral drawing, and in this piece the two are drawn so closely together that they read as one continuous pattern rather than two.
What you see
The first impression is a large red medallion glowing against an ivory field. Look again and the reason becomes clear: medallion and field share the very same fine Mahi diamond lattice, the pattern simply shifting from deep brick red to cream as it crosses the medallion's edge. A smaller navy medallion sits within the red one, filled with the identical lattice again. Cream spandrels hold the corners, and a wide navy border of pink and cream palmette-and-vine scrollwork closes the design, darker and quieter than everything inside it.
How it was made
Bidjar carries the densest knotting in the Persian tradition, and this piece sits at 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre, fine enough to let that herati lattice run unbroken from field into medallion without a single motif catching or breaking step. The pile is hand-spun wool rather than machine-spun, so it settles onto the cotton foundation with a slightly warmer, less uniform thickness, and the weft is beaten down hard against it as the work proceeds. That pressing is what gives Bidjar its board-like, substantial body, and it is the reason this rug can only be rolled.
At home
At just under three by two metres, this is a dining room or living room piece, sized to sit under a table or anchor a seating group. The brick red and ivory hold their own against dark wood and equally warm a pale floor. Underfoot it is dense, firm and built for daily crossing rather than careful preservation. Wherever the light falls, the lattice carries the eye from field to medallion without ever quite letting the pattern come to rest.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 299 × 201 cm (6.01 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre; across 6.01 m² that is roughly 2.3 to 2.6 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.
