About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, a rug type from the Kurdish regions of western Iran, measuring 301 x 203 cm (9'11" x 6'8"). Bidjars are known throughout Persian weaving for one thing above all: an exceptional density of knotting that has earned them the name the Iron Rugs of Persia.
What you see
The field is a deep anthracite, almost blue-black, filled edge to edge with a diamond lattice in the Mahi, or fish, pattern, repeated so small and evenly that from across a room it reads as a near-solid dark surface, with no medallion to break it. Only up close does the lattice resolve, rust, ochre and dark green appearing within it. Around this sits a wide brick-red border, its floral vine set with small diamond medallions, held in by narrow cream and dark guard stripes that sharpen the line between border and field.
How it was made
This hand-knotted rug owes its near-solid effect directly to how it was made. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, it reaches a density Persian weaving rarely attempts, and each diamond in the lattice is small enough that only close inspection separates one from the next. The pile is wool run through with silk, which spins finer than wool and let the weaver hold that repeat tight and crisp across the full three metres. The result is so compact that a Bidjar cannot be folded, only rolled.
At home
This is a dining or living room piece, at home under a table or in front of a sofa. The anthracite field holds its own against dark furniture, while the brick-red border keeps its warmth as daylight fades. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built to be walked on rather than kept for best, its wool and silk pile catching whatever light crosses it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 301 × 203 cm (6.11 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 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 6.11 m² that is roughly 2.7 to 3.1 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.
