About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
Bijar runners of this length are rare — most of the type appear as room-size carpets — and this one measures 348 x 83 cm (11'5" x 2'9"), knotted in the Kurdish villages of western Iran. The region has earned its rugs the nickname "the Iron Rugs of Persia", woven so densely that a Bijar cannot be folded, only rolled, and is prized above almost any other Persian type for how long it lasts underfoot.
What you see
A deep brick red carries the field, broken by a lattice of navy diamonds that runs its full length. Set into that lattice, four hexagonal medallions in cream stand at even intervals, each one identical in size and spacing, so the eye moves down the runner as if counting steps rather than reading a single repeat. Around the whole thing runs a wide floral border, banded in cream, red and navy, its softer pinks and sage greens giving relief from the darker field within.
How it was made
That evenness is not accidental. A design this exact, held over more than three metres of hand-knotting, depends on the density of the weave itself — here between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest found anywhere in the Persian tradition. The pile mixes wool with silk, and because silk spins so much finer than wool, it lets the knotter place a sharper edge on each medallion than wool alone could hold. A cotton warp underneath keeps that density under tension without stretching, which is exactly what gives a Bijar its legendary refusal to soften or sag over decades of use.
At home
A runner this shape and this sturdy belongs in a hallway or along a landing, somewhere it will be walked on daily rather than admired from the doorway. The brick red and navy hold their own against dark floorboards or stone, and the cream medallions lift a corridor that otherwise sees little daylight. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for exactly the traffic a hallway gives it, and the touch of silk in the pile catches the light in a faint sheen each time someone crosses it, so the four medallions seem to brighten in turn as you pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 348 × 83 cm (2.89 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 2.89 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.4 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.
