About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 238 x 170 cm (7'10" x 5'7"). Bijar carries the old nickname "the iron rug of Persia," earned by a structure so dense and so firmly pressed that a piece can only be rolled, never folded, and holds its shape and its edges for decades of use. This example carries no medallion at all: the pattern runs edge to edge as an all-over lattice, calm and evenly drawn where Bijar can often feel busier.
What you see
The ground is a deep brick red, warming toward bordeaux, and across it runs a fine diamond lattice in navy, with soft blue-grey and dusty pink caught inside each cell — a Mahi repeat, the classic "fish" reading of Persian pattern, laid out without a centre to fix the eye. There is no medallion to anchor it, so the rhythm simply continues, diamond after diamond, out to a wide ivory border. There, red palmettes trail along a scrolling vine, held in by narrow navy and red guard stripes, and it is this crisp ivory band that stops the dark field and gives the whole rug its frame.
How it was made
Bijar's reputation for density is not decorative talk. This piece carries 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest counts in the Persian tradition, packed onto a cotton warp with a pile of wool blended with silk. Silk spins finer than wool, so a knot tied in it can be smaller and sharper, and it is this that lets the lattice keep its edges so evenly through a 15 mm pile rather than blurring at the diamond points. The result, hand-knotted and pressed firm at the loom, is a rug that sits heavy and solid in the hand, built for exactly the kind of wear it is about to receive.
At home
At 238 x 170 cm this is a living room piece, sized for a seating group rather than a full dining table, and it will happily sit under a coffee table with sofas on two sides. The brick red and navy hold their own against dark wood or leather furniture, and the ivory border lifts the whole arrangement without needing pale walls to do it. Underfoot it is dense and firm rather than soft, entirely at ease in a room that gets daily use. Move a lamp across it in the evening and the matte wool takes the light quietly, while the ivory palmettes along the border stay bright.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 238 × 170 cm (4.05 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 4.05 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.
