This 1'6 x 2'2 Bijar Poshti Persian Rug is a handwoven gem from Bijar, Iran — the region celebrated for producing the famously durable “Iron Rugs of Persia.” Known for their tight knots, strength, and artistry, Bijar rugs are some of the most resilient handwoven textiles in the world.
The rug displays a dark salmon (brick red) field with a central ivory diamond medallion filled with floral motifs. Light blue, navy, pink, olive, and golden tones provide contrast and harmony, while the ivory floral border framed by blue guard stripes adds definition and balance.
Traditionally, poshti rugs of this size were woven as samples, used to showcase the design, weave, and color scheme of larger Bijar carpets. Because so few of these small-format samples were made — and fewer survived in good condition — they have become scarce and highly desirable among collectors, making them a hot product in today’s rug industry.
Compact yet richly detailed, this piece serves beautifully as a collector’s item, wall hanging, tabletop display, or small decorative rug, while carrying the full heritage of Persian weaving.
