About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
A Bidjar carries the nickname "the iron rug of Persia", and this piece, 365 x 256 cm (12'0" x 8'5"), shows exactly why. Woven in the Kurdish regions of western Iran, the type is known above all for a structure so dense and so firmly pressed that it cannot be folded, only rolled, and for holding its form under decades of foot traffic. Bidjar weavers characteristically set strong geometry against classical Persian floral pattern, and this rug is a clear, well-balanced example of that combination.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, filled edge to edge with a fine Mahi lattice of stylised fish and rosettes, drawn tightly enough to read almost as texture from across a room. Set into that field, a central medallion with a crisp ivory core interrupts the lattice cleanly, and at each corner a navy floral spandrel, drawn as a mirror image of its neighbour, sits like a lantern against the red ground. A wide navy border, taking up roughly a fifth of the width, carries pink, cream and rust blossoms and closes the design with a calm, evenly worked floral band rather than any further geometry.
How it was made
Structure explains that calm. The pile is wool with an admixture of silk on a cotton foundation, knotted by hand to a density of 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre, among the tightest found anywhere in the Persian tradition. Silk spins finer than wool and takes a sharper edge, which is why the medallion's outline stays so precise against the busier field around it. At a 15 mm pile height that density presses into a construction that is genuinely heavy in the hand, and it is this compaction, not age, that gives the rug its reputation for lasting rather than merely wearing in.
At home
A rug of this size sits naturally under a dining table or anchoring a living room seating group, and the red will hold its own against dark wood or pale oak floors alike without needing either. It feels dense and firm underfoot rather than soft, the kind of weave that is made to be walked on daily, not reserved for quiet corners. As light crosses it through the day, the ivory outlines and the border's lighter blossoms catch a faint sheen against the matte red, a detail worth noticing again each time the sun moves.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 365 × 256 cm (9.34 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre; across 9.34 m² that is roughly 4.7 to 6.0 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.
