About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bijar, also written Bidjar, is woven in Iran's Kurdish west and carries the nickname the iron rugs of Persia, earned by a density few Persian weavings match. This piece measures 90 x 72 cm (2'11" x 2'4"), hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, and carries a full formal medallion design more usually seen on a larger rug.
What you see
The field is ivory, densely scattered with small red and pink roses that soften into a warm blur. At the centre sits a star-shaped medallion in slate grey and salmon, matched by quarter-medallions in each corner, so the layout balances from every side. Vase-like floral pendants rise above and below it from the rose ground. A wide navy and charcoal border, patterned with a floral lattice in red, green and pale blue, closes the design and takes up roughly a sixth of the rug's width.
How it was made
Knot density here runs to 381,000-440,000 knots per square metre, near the top of the Persian range, and it is what keeps the small roses and matching corner medallions crisp rather than blurred. The pile is handspun wool at 15 millimetres, giving the rug real weight in the hand. That same density lies behind the Bijar's old reputation for a structure too firm to fold, only to roll, and it is why a rug this size still feels substantial underfoot.
At home
At this size the rug suits one spot rather than a whole room - beside a bed, on a landing, or under a small desk. Against a pale floor the ivory ground and its warm roses add colour without weight; against darker wood the navy border holds its own. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use. Let the light move across it and the rose field catches a soft, even sheen.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 90 × 72 cm (0.65 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 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre; across 0.65 m² that is roughly 250,000 to 290,000 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.
