About This Bidjar

Where it comes from

This is a Bijar, also written Bidjar, hand-knotted in the Kurdish villages of western Iran, 407 x 79 cm (13'4" x 2'7"). The type is nicknamed the Iron Rug of Persia, prized above all for a density of knotting that no other Persian weaving matches, and for holding its shape and sharpness for decades underfoot.

What you see

A deep brick red runs the length of the field, broken by a chain of five hexagonal medallions, each drawn identically and spaced with the same rhythm, so the eye reads a march rather than a single centre. Their ivory grounds carry fine floral fill in dark teal, rust and beige, echoing the Persian blossom set against the geometry of the hexagon. A wide navy-black border closes the composition, framed in turn by a narrower cream vine stripe that keeps the red field from meeting the room around it.

How it was made

The knot count sits between 441,000 and 500,000 per square metre, among the tightest in the Persian tradition, and it is possible because the pile is spun from wool crossed with silk, which runs finer than wool alone and lets each medallion keep its crisp, drawn edge. Packed against a cotton warp this tightly, the rug cannot be folded, only rolled, and that same compactness is what lets it carry daily footsteps without losing its shape.

At home

A runner this length suits a hallway or landing, where the eye travels rather than settles - fitting for medallions built to march. The red warms a pale floor even without daylight, while the navy border holds its edge against dark skirting. Underfoot it is dense and firm, ready for daily footsteps rather than careful protection. Morning and evening light catch the silk differently, so the medallions never quite repeat.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 407 × 79 cm (3.22 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.

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 3.22 m² that is roughly 1.4 to 1.6 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.
