About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar rug, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 203 x 151 cm (6'8" x 4'11"). The type has earned its nickname, the Iron Rugs of Persia, for a density and toughness that outlasts almost anything else in the Persian tradition. It is knotted from memory rather than from a workshop drawing, which makes the precision of this particular piece worth noticing before anything else.
What you see
An ivory octagonal medallion glows at the centre against a dense brick-red ground, built up in the fine diamond lattice of the Herati pattern. Looking closer, that medallion turns out to be three medallions nested inside one another, the ground alternating red and ivory from one layer to the next, each carrying its own small-scale lattice, so the effect is a stack of diamonds rather than a single roundel. Ivory spandrels pick up the medallion's pale ground in the corners. A wide ivory border then carries a vine of red and navy palmettes and leaves, closed by a black guard stripe.
How it was made
That precision is a product of the structure. At 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, among the densest counts in the Persian tradition, the weaver had enough resolution to keep three concentric medallion rings in true register rather than letting one blur into the next. The pile is wool with silk; silk spins finer than wool and takes a sharper knot, which sharpens the lattice further and gives the surface its light sheen. Clipped to a 15mm pile over a cotton warp, the weave presses into the tight, almost board-like structure Bidjar rugs are known for, so compact that the rug is rolled for transport, never folded.
At home
A piece this size suits a bedroom, or a quieter seating corner in a living room, somewhere it will be looked at rather than only crossed. The brick red holds its own against dark wood or leather furniture, and warms a pale floor without needing anything else in the room to match it. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for regular use rather than careful preservation. Where the wool-silk pile catches the light, the lattice and the three medallion rings shift gently as you move past.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 203 × 151 cm (3.07 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 3.07 m² that is roughly 1.4 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.
