About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
The rug in front of you is a Bidjar, sometimes written Bijar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 208 x 132 cm (6'10" x 4'4"). Bidjar carries the old nickname "the iron rug of Persia", earned by a structure so dense and firmly packed that a finished piece can be rolled but never folded. It is a type prized above all for outlasting the room it is put in.
What you see
The field reads as a deep navy, close to black in places, carrying a dense repeat of rosette-and-leaf clusters set on the diagonal, in the pattern known as Mahi, or "fish". There is no medallion here to gather the eye; the whole field holds equal weight from edge to edge, in brick red, terracotta, ivory, sage and muted gold against the dark ground. A wide brick-red floral vine border closes the design, lighter and warmer than the field, with a thin navy guard stripe holding its outer edge.
How it was made
What keeps that dense repeat legible rather than muddy is the knotting itself: this piece carries between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest counts in the whole Persian tradition, and the pile is wool worked with silk rather than wool alone. Silk spins finer than wool, so it lets the knotter work smaller, sharper detail into each rosette, which is why the lighter motifs catch a slight sheen against the matte navy ground. At 15 mm the pile sits low and firm, and combined with a cotton warp it gives the rug the compact, weighty hand that Bidjar is known for, the reason a piece like this settles flat and holds its edges for decades.
At home
A rug of this size and density belongs in a bedroom, laid where you step onto it first thing, or anchoring a smaller seating group in a living room. Against pale floorboards the brick-red border does the warming; against dark wood furniture the navy field simply holds its ground rather than competing with it. Underfoot it is dense and firm rather than plush, built for daily use rather than careful protection, and the pattern is close enough underfoot that you keep finding a rosette you hadn't noticed. As daylight crosses it through the morning, the silk in the pile catches along the lighter motifs and the lattice seems to lift very slightly off the dark ground.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 208 × 132 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.
