About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, hand-knotted in the Kurdish region of western Iran and measuring 170 x 111 cm (5'7" x 3'8"). The type is known across the trade as the Iron Rugs of Persia, prized above all for a density that lets it outlast almost anything else on the loom. Knotted from memory rather than a drawn plan, this particular piece carries that same solid, built-up quality straight through to its design.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field, carried in a fine, all-over lattice in the herati manner, so the ground never sits flat or empty. At its centre stands a large hexagonal medallion, and here the rug shows its depth: rather than one flat shape, the medallion rises through three nested layers, a cream centre inside a navy diamond inside a red outline, giving it a stepped, almost architectural weight against the field. Around all of this runs a narrow border, navy ground carrying a cream floral vine, held between thin red and cream guard stripes, no wider than an eighth of the rug.
How it was made
Two things sit behind that layered look. The pile is hand-spun wool, knotted at 251,000 to 320,000 knots per square metre onto a cotton warp, a density that lets the weaver draw each nested band of the medallion with a clean, sharp edge rather than a blur. The same tight structure, pressed down to a short 15 mm pile, is what makes a Bidjar so compact that it is never folded, only rolled, and it is that same compactness which gives the rug its long working life underfoot.
At home
At 170 x 111 cm this is a rug for a study, a reading corner, or the foot of a bed, somewhere it is seen up close rather than crossed at speed. Against pale floorboards the brick red and navy hold their own without darkening the room, and the cream medallion keeps drawing the eye back to its centre. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than display, and as daylight moves across the room the three layers of the medallion catch it one band at a time.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 170 × 111 cm (1.89 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 1.89 m² that is roughly 470,000 to 600,000 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.
