FAQs

Bidjar rugs originate from the Kurdish town of Bijar in north-western Iran. Known historically as the iron rugs of Persia, these textiles were woven by Kurdish weavers using heavy beaters to pack down the pile, creating exceptionally durable carpets with distinctive geometric and floral motifs.

Traditional Bidjar carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade, hand-spun wool pile woven onto a heavy cotton or wool foundation. Weavers use a double-knot technique with wet wool warps and heavy wool wet-beating to achieve an extremely dense and rigid structure.

Authentic antique Bidjar pieces are recognized by their substantial weight, rigid foundation that resists folding, and rich natural vegetable dyes such as madder red and indigo blue. The design typically features stylized rosettes, Herati patterns, or medallion fields with high knot density.

A long Persian rug works exceptionally well in transitional spaces such as entrance hallways, long corridors, or beside a bed. The rich colours and historic geometric patterns provide visual contrast against minimalist timber floors, neutral walls, or contemporary cabinetry.

Routine care involves gentle vacuuming without a rotary beater bar to avoid pulling the wool fibers. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean cloth, and the rug should be professionally washed by an antique textile specialist every few years.
