About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar runner from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 240 x 77 cm (7'10" x 2'6"). Also written Bidjar, the type has earned itself a plain nickname among dealers and collectors: the Iron Rugs of Persia, for a density and a firmness underfoot that few other Persian weaves attempt.
What you see
The field runs a deep brick red down the full length, carrying three ivory hexagonal medallions strung one after another in a column, evenly matched in size, following the old Seh Torandj arrangement rather than any looser repeat. Between them the ground fills with the small curling Mahi pattern typical of the type. A wide navy-black border, taking up close to a fifth of the width on each side, closes the whole in small cream floral rosettes, its ivory ground answering the ivory of the medallions, red and navy carrying the contrast between them.
How it was made
Bijar weavers press the weft down hard between rows as they knot, which is what gives the type its name and its reputation: the resulting cloth is so compact it cannot be folded, only rolled. This piece was knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan, which is why the three medallions, though matched in size, carry the small differences of a hand rather than a machine. The knotting runs to 441,000-500,000 knots per square metre on a cotton warp, with wool and silk together in the 15 mm pile. Silk spins far finer than wool, so where it runs through the design it holds the small rosettes and medallion outlines to a sharpness plain wool could not, and lifts a light sheen across the surface.
At home
At 77 cm wide this is a runner built for a hallway or a landing, somewhere it will be walked on daily rather than kept for best. In a hallway with little daylight the brick red carries its own warmth, and the navy border holds its edge cleanly against whatever floor sits either side of it. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for exactly this kind of traffic, and the sheen in the silk means that whenever light crosses it, the three medallions catch it one after another down the length of the room.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 240 × 77 cm (1.85 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 1.85 m² that is roughly 810,000 to 920,000 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.
