About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, a Persian rug type from the Kurdish region of western Iran, measuring 198 x 139 cm (6'6" x 4'7"). Bijars are known across the trade as the Iron Rugs of Persia, prized for a density of weave that no other Persian type attempts, and for holding their shape and edge through decades of hard use.
What you see
From across the room the field reads as a near-solid, deep brick red. Only on approach does it resolve into a dense, all-over floral pattern, out of which a symmetrical medallion rises, trailing pendants above and below. Its petals seem to shift from salmon into dusty rose into cream, with a touch of pale blue at the centre, rather than sitting as flat blocks of colour. Floral spandrels fill the corners, and a wide navy-black border, dense with floral scrollwork and edged in ivory guard stripes, closes the composition firmly around it.
How it was made
The resolution you see up close has a measurable cause: this piece carries between 441,000 and 500,000 hand-tied knots per square metre, at the top end of what Persian weaving attempts anywhere, worked onto a cotton warp. That density is what allows a pattern this fine to read as one colour from a distance and separate into detail on approach. The pile itself is wool finished with silk, and it is the silk that gathers the light across the medallion and border, a faint sheen set against the flatter wool of the field. Bijars are pressed so tightly at the loom that the finished rug cannot be folded, only rolled, and that same compactness is why it wears for decades rather than years.
At home
A rug this size suits a bedroom or a quiet reading corner rather than a large open floor, laid at the foot of a bed or under a chair and a low table. Against pale floorboards the brick red warms the room; against darker furniture it holds its own without competing. Underfoot it is dense, firm and substantial, a 15 mm pile built for daily use rather than for standing aside. As daylight crosses it through the day, the silk in the medallion catches differently hour to hour, so the rug you see in the morning is not quite the one you see at dusk.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 198 × 139 cm (2.75 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 2.75 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.4 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.
