About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
The rug in front of you is a Bidjar, sometimes written Bijar or Bidjar Kurdistan, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 204 x 145 cm (6'8" x 4'9"). The type has earned its nickname, "the Iron Rugs of Persia", for a structure so dense and so firmly pressed that the finished piece cannot be folded, only rolled. What is unusual about this particular example is how finely and evenly it has been drawn for a rug built, above all, for muscle.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field, carrying a dense Mahi lattice across its full length, and at its centre sits a lobed medallion in navy and cream. The same navy-and-cream pairing reappears in the four corner spandrels, so the eye settles into a balanced, almost mirrored read before it ever reaches the border. That border runs wide, roughly a sixth of the rug's width, in navy ground with red and cream floral scrollwork, held between narrower guard stripes. Rust-orange, gold and dark green surface only in the smaller floral detail, kept in check by the red and navy that carry the piece.
How it was made
This is the densest knotting in the Persian tradition, here running to 441,000-500,000 knots per square metre, and a rug at that density represents months of steady work at the loom. The pile is wool mixed with silk over a cotton warp, and silk spins thinner than wool, which lets a weaver pack more knots into the same space and draw a line as crisp as the one you see in the medallion and spandrels here. At 15 mm the pile sits low and tight rather than deep, which is exactly what gives the surface its smooth, fine-knotted finish and what allows the pattern to come out this precisely.
At home
A rug this size suits a bedroom, or a smaller seating corner in a living room, and the ziegelrot will hold its warmth against pale floorboards while the navy gives it enough weight to stand up to darker furniture nearby. Underfoot it feels dense and firm rather than soft and yielding, a rug made to be walked on daily rather than kept for best. Watch it through the day and the red shifts with the light, while the cream medallion holds its own from any angle in the room.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 204 × 145 cm (2.96 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 2.96 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 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.
