About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bijar, also written Bidjar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, 259 x 171 cm (8'6" x 5'7"). The type is nicknamed the iron rug of Persia, and the name is earned by a structure so dense and firmly pressed that a Bijar cannot be folded, only rolled, and holds its shape and edge for decades.
What you see
The first impression is of an ivory field, pale and even, carrying a dense repeat of small floral lattice in deep red and navy blue, worked edge to edge with no medallion to break it. Look closer and the lattice resolves into the Mahi pattern, its diamond compartments touched with teal, olive and brown. A wide deep-red border, nearly a fifth of the rug's width, closes the field with a scrolling vine of palmettes, its colour holding firmly against the pale ground within.
How it was made
Every knot is tied by hand onto a cotton warp, the pile a blend of wool and silk clipped to fifteen millimetres, packed to between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre, a density few traditions attempt. Wool gives a Bijar its weight; silk, spun finer, lets the small lattice turn its corners sharply rather than blur, which is why the pattern reads as evenly drawn as a cartoon, though it was set from memory rather than a plan.
At home
A rug this size settles under a seating group in a living room, or at the foot of a bed. The ivory field lifts a room with little daylight, and the red border holds its own against dark wood. Underfoot it is dense and firm, made for daily use, and as light crosses it the silk in the lattice catches faintly, sharpening the pattern before it settles back into the wool.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 259 × 171 cm (4.43 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 4.43 m² that is roughly 2.0 to 2.2 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.
