Traditional hand-woven 100% wool Bijar rug featuring a dense Herati pattern across a rich rust red field, a prominent ivory stepped diamond central medallion, crisp ivory corner spandrels, and a classic rust red floral main border, SKU 8716, size 10′4″ × 12′7″. Reference image: 8716.jpg
This Traditional Bijar embraces the legendary durability and formal geometric elegance of northwestern Persian Kurdish weaving. The expansive field showcases a spectacularly dense, mesmerizing layout featuring the classic Herati (Mahi) pattern intricately woven across a deeply saturated foundation of rich rust red. The rhythmic detail of the expansive center is masterfully anchored by a luminous, stepped diamond medallion in crisp ivory, which harmonizes perfectly with the matching ivory corner spandrels. A beautifully structured, multi-banded floral and palmette border in rust red and navy blue frames the monumental composition. Celebrated worldwide as the "Iron Rug of Persia," the Bijar's incredibly sturdy, heavily packed wool pile creates a substantial, highly tactile canvas that effortlessly brings historical grandeur, formal symmetry, and timeless sophistication to grand living spaces.
Hand-woven in 100% premium wool, this rug offers an extraordinarily durable, steadfast foundation with a rich, comforting presence underfoot. Measuring a magnificent 10′4″ × 12′7″, it serves as a stunning, highly functional anchor for grand formal dining rooms, expansive living areas, or luxurious master suites, bringing incredibly detailed artistry and unparalleled hand-made craftsmanship to the heart of the home.

Styling & Placement Tips
Perfect for traditional, grand millennial, European-inspired, or curated historic interiors. The monumental 10'4"x12'7" scale and virtually indestructible construction make it the ultimate captivating accent piece for a sprawling formal dining room (comfortably accommodating a large dining table and chairs) or an expansive formal living room. The crisp ivory medallions and warm rust red tones pair beautifully with natural hardwood floors, rich mahogany or walnut finishes, antique brass fixtures, and tailored upholstery to act as a bold, anchoring focal point that seamlessly guides the eye through expansive spaces with architectural elegance.
Care
Vacuum regularly without a beater bar (suction only) to protect the fine wool fibers and preserve the exceptionally dense weave. A high-quality rug pad is strongly recommended to prevent slipping and provide cushioning. Rotate occasionally to ensure even wear. Professional cleaning is highly recommended.

About this Weave
Bijar (or Bidjar) rugs, historically woven in the Kurdish region of northwestern Iran, are famously revered as the "Iron Rugs of Persia" due to their unrivaled structural density and exceptional durability. Woven using a specialized technique where damp weft yarns are tightly pounded down with heavy iron combs, Bijars possess an incredibly compact, steadfast weave that repels grit and wear for generations. Characterized by intricate Herati (Mahi) or geometric floral fields anchored by stepped diamond medallions and crisp spandrels, these pieces marry rugged structural integrity with formal Persian elegance. The resulting masterpieces provide an exceptionally robust foundation perfectly suited for adding timeless grandeur, historical depth, and rich character to the grandest areas of today's refined interiors.
