About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar runner, hand-knotted in the Kurdish regions of western Iran, 192 x 50 cm (6'4" x 1'8"). The type is known as the Iron Rug of Persia, a name earned by a weave so dense and firmly packed that a Bijar cannot be folded, only rolled, and one that holds its shape and sharpness underfoot for decades. Bijars are also written Bidjar, and collectors prize them as much for their construction as for their pattern.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, filled edge to edge with a fine diamond lattice in navy, the Mahi pattern repeating without a break and without a medallion to interrupt it. Small florets in soft blue, salmon and pale green sit inside the lattice, drawing the eye along the length of the runner rather than to any one point. A wide cream border closes the field, carrying a dark navy floral vine, and a slim rust-red band frames the whole, so the pale border stands out as a clear line around the red.
How it was made
Knot density here runs to around 450,000 per square metre, among the tightest a Persian loom produces, and it is this packing that gives the rug its name and its reputation for lasting. The pile is wool with an admixture of silk, set on a cotton warp. Silk spins to a much finer thread than wool, which lets the weaver tie a smaller, sharper knot within the same dense structure. That is why the lattice holds its edges so cleanly at only 15mm of pile, and why the surface carries a light, quiet sheen rather than a flat wool matte.
At home
A runner this size belongs in a hallway or on a landing, somewhere it will be walked over rather than admired from a chair. Red and navy do not need daylight to work; they will warm a dim passage rather than wait for one, and the cream border gives the piece a clear edge to sit against a skirting board. Underfoot it is firm and dense, more substantial than its slim pile suggests, and the same tight structure that keeps a Bijar from folding is what lets it take daily footsteps without losing its crispness. Catch it in low light and the silk in the pile picks out the navy lattice as you pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 192 × 50 cm (0.96 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
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 0.96 m² that is roughly 420,000 to 480,000 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.
