About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bijar rug from the Kurdish region of western Iran, 234 x 174 cm (7'8" x 5'9"), from a weaving tradition long nicknamed the Iron Rugs of Persia. The name comes from a density unmatched elsewhere in Persian weaving: a Bijar is pressed so tight during construction that it cannot be folded, only rolled, and it is prized by collectors precisely for how long it holds its form underfoot.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, packed edge to edge with the fine fish-and-rosette lattice known as Mahi. Rising out of it is a large stepped diamond medallion built in three distinct layers rather than one flat shape: an ivory core, a navy ring around it, then a red outer diamond, so the whole thing reads almost like a target set into the field. Navy triangular spandrels echo the same colour in each corner, and a broad navy border, taking up close to a fifth of the width, carries a repeating floral vine and palmette pendants that stand out sharply against the red.
How it was made
That sharpness is not incidental. The pile is wool worked through with silk, and silk spins far finer than wool, so the weaver could draw a clean line at each colour change rather than a blurred one, which is exactly what lets the medallion's three rings sit apart so distinctly. The knot count runs to 441,000-500,000 per square metre, close to the upper end for the Persian tradition, and at that density each square metre held tens of thousands of knots, months of work compressed into fifteen millimetres of pile. The result is a surface that stays crisp at the outline and substantial in the hand.
At home
A rug this size sits naturally in a seating area of a living room, in front of a sofa or beneath a low table, or at the foot of a bed. Against pale floorboards the red will carry real warmth into the room; against dark wood or dark upholstery it holds its own rather than receding. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for a room that gets used rather than one kept for show. As daylight moves across it through the day, the ivory core of the medallion lifts while the red around it deepens, and that shift is worth watching for.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 234 × 174 cm (4.07 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
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 4.07 m² that is roughly 1.8 to 2.0 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.
