About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, hand-knotted in the Kurdish regions of western Iran, where the type earned its name as the Iron Rug of Persia for density and weight. It measures 215 x 142 cm (7'1" x 4'8"). Bidjars are valued for a structure packed so tight that a rug like this can only be rolled, never folded, and for holding its form and sharpness for decades.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, dense and warm from a distance. Across it runs an allover Mahi lattice, the fish-and-rosette pattern packed tight enough to read as texture before it resolves into design. From that ground rises a large lozenge medallion, with a smaller diamond medallion nested inside it in dark navy. Ivory corner spandrels cut in sharply at each edge, pale against the red. A wide navy border carries red and cream floral vines, closed in by narrow guard stripes.
How it was made
Bidjar owes its density to a weft beaten hard against a cotton warp, packing knots closer than almost anywhere else in the Persian tradition, here between 321,000 and 380,000 to the square metre. That tightness lets the drawing stay precise: the line between an ivory spandrel and the red ground, or between the two nested medallions, holds sharp rather than blurring. The handspun wool pile is then clipped low, to about 15 mm, flattening the surface and letting the pattern read cleanly from across a room.
At home
A rug this size suits a bedroom, or a reading corner seen at close range rather than across a hall. Against a pale floor the brick red warms the space; against dark wood it holds its own. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than for show. Morning light settles into the red and keeps the ivory spandrels bright against it.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 215 × 142 cm (3.05 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 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 3.05 m² that is roughly 1.0 to 1.2 million 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.
