About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bijar rug from the Kurdish region of western Iran, 240 x 173 cm (7'10" x 5'8"). The type is known above all for its density — the tightest knotting in the whole Persian tradition, so compact that a Bijar can only be rolled, never folded, which is where the nickname "the Iron Rugs of Persia" comes from. That same density usually carries bold, heavy drawing. Here it carries something quieter.
What you see
A deep brick red fills the field from edge to edge, close to madder in tone, and the pattern reads as one continuous surface rather than a design with a centre. It is the Mahi lattice, small repeating florals locking together across the whole ground, with small dark rectangular and oval cartouches set at even intervals through the field — enough to give the repeat a faint grid rhythm without breaking it into separate motifs. There is no medallion. Around this sits a wide navy border carrying a cream floral vine, held in turn by narrower ivory and red guard stripes, the whole frame running to about a fifth of the rug's width. Sage leaves, dusty pink and pale blue rosettes, and small touches of mustard appear as accents rather than as a second colour statement.
How it was made
That evenness is a product of the weave itself. The pile is wool with an admixture of silk, which spins finer than wool alone and lets the knotter draw the lattice with a precision that pure wool would blur. Knot density here runs to 441,000–500,000 knots per square metre, on a cotton warp, with a pile kept low at 15 mm — a combination built for a firm, closely pressed surface rather than a soft, deep one, and it is this same tightness that gives the design its calm, exact repetition.
At home
A rug this size suits a seating area in a living room, or the floor by a bed. The red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor equally well, and the navy border keeps the whole piece anchored rather than spreading. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than careful protection, and the quiet rhythm of its pattern is the kind of thing you keep noticing rather than the kind that announces itself on arrival.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 240 × 173 cm (4.15 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 4.15 m² that is roughly 1.8 to 2.1 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.
