About This Bidjar
Where it comes from
This is a Bidjar, also written Bijar, from the Kurdish weaving regions of western Iran, measuring 237 x 169 cm (7'9" x 5'7"). The type is known across the trade as the iron rug of Persia, prized 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 fills the field, densely patterned with a diamond lattice of small Mahi rosettes. Set on top of it floats a large medallion built from nested diamonds, each one smaller than the last, navy-edged and narrowing to a plain cream centre at its heart. Dusty pink, olive and camel appear only as small accents through the lattice. A wide navy border of rust and cream flowerheads, close to a fifth of the rug's width, closes the composition firmly against the red field.
How it was made
Bijar weavers knot more tightly than any other Persian tradition, and this rug sits at 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre - dense enough to hold the nested diamond crisp rather than let its lines blur. The pile is hand-spun wool worked through with silk, which carries a faint sheen wool alone cannot, catching along the medallion's outlines. Pressed to 15mm over a cotton warp, the weave is so compact that a Bijar is rolled rather than folded, never quite flattening even under years of foot traffic.
At home
At 237 x 169 cm this suits a dining table or a living room seating group, large enough to anchor either without taking over. The brick red holds its own against dark wood and still warms a pale floor, while the navy medallion keeps the field calm rather than busy. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than kept for show. In low light the silk catches along the medallion's edges, holding its line as the light moves.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 237 × 169 cm (4.01 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 381,000 to 440,000 knots per square metre; across 4.01 m² that is roughly 1.5 to 1.8 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
