The Piece

A geometry only the old looms still remember.

Bijar rugs are a particular style of Persian rug that is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive designs. Due to their thick, tightly woven pile, bijar rugs are frequently referred to as the "Iron Rug of Persia". This pile is made utilizing a unique weaving method known as "wet weaving," in which the warps, wefts, and pile are all maintained at a constant moisture level throughout the weaving process. The wool swells when the rug is finished and given time to dry, resulting in a dense, compact fabric. Additionally, bijar carpets are well-known for their vivid hues and elaborate patterns. Bijar carpets typically have the colors blue, red, and yellow. The patterns have a very Persian aesthetic, featuring popular Herati, Mina Khani, Harshang, and medallion motifs. Collectors and home designers both like to use bijar carpets. They are renowned for their elegance, robustness, and classic design. An excellent choice if you're seeking a fine hand-knotted rug is a Bijar rug.

A note on character

Faint creases from transit are normal and relax within a few days of lying flat. Slight irregularities in line and color are the signature of a hand-knotted piece — not flaws, but the fingerprints of the person who made it.

What Owners Say

Bought once. Kept for good.

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

Is this rug really hand-knotted?

Yes. This is a genuine hand-knotted rug — tied entirely by hand, knot by knot, from wool. That hand-work is exactly why no two are alike and why this piece is one of a kind.

What is this rug made of, and where was it made?

It is hand-knotted from wool in Iran, on a cotton foundation.

What size is this rug?

This exact piece measures 2'8'' X 9'2'' (about a Runner rug). These are the real, measured dimensions of this one rug — hand-made pieces vary by an inch or two from any standard size.

Is this piece really one of a kind?

Yes. This is the only one of this rug that exists — its colour, size and pattern will never be reproduced. When it sells, it is gone for good.

Do you ship for free?

Yes — every order ships free anywhere in the United States, fully insured and carefully rolled for transit.

What is your return policy?

You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, and up to 30 days to send it back. We email you a prepaid shipping label — return shipping is on us — and refund you once the rug is back with us.

How do I care for my rug?

Vacuum gently (no beater bar), rotate it now and then for even wear, and blot spills right away rather than rubbing. For a deeper clean, see our rug care guide or ask us about professional hand-cleaning.

Can I see it in person before buying?

Yes. You're welcome at our Houston showroom — book a private viewing and we'll have the piece ready to walk on.

Can I pay over time?

Yes — you can split your purchase into monthly payments with Affirm at checkout, and checking your rate won't affect your credit score.
