Bidjar rugs are woven by Kurdish artisans in the town of Bidjar and surrounding villages in western Iran, renowned for their exceptionally dense construction and heavy woolen foundations.

These carpets traditionally feature hand-spun wool pile woven tightly onto a cotton or wool foundation, utilising symmetric knots beaten down with a specialized heavy comb during weaving to create a rigid, durable structure.

Authentic pieces are characterised by their extreme weight, stiff handle, high knot density, and distinctive Herati or geometric medallion motifs executed in rich vegetable-dyed colours.

A traditional runner adds warmth, texture, and historical contrast when placed in modern transitional hallways, anchoring minimalist spaces with rich pattern and earthy colour palettes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when needed, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent sliding and fibre abrasion.
