This 6'8 x 9'2 all over floral Bijar iron rug represents the highest level of craftsmanship found in Persian wool rugs. Hand knotted with premium wool on a strong cotton foundation, this piece reflects the legendary durability and density that have earned Bijar rugs the reputation of being the strongest and highest quality rugs in the wool category.

Often referred to as the “iron rugs” of Persia, Bijars are woven using a special wet-knotting technique that compresses each knot tightly into place. The result is a rug that feels substantial, structured, and built for lifetimes of use.

Design & Pattern

This rug features a true all over floral composition, designed without a central medallion. Instead, the surface is filled with a continuous lattice of repeating palmettes, blossoms, and scrolling vine work. The symmetry is precise and uninterrupted, creating a balanced visual rhythm from edge to edge.

The pattern showcases large stylized flowers framed by interlocking branches and vine tendrils, with smaller rosettes filling the negative space. This type of all over layout is especially prized because it allows for effortless furniture placement without cutting into a central focal point.

Color Composition & Placement

The color structure of this rug is rich, warm, and layered with exceptional clarity.

The main field is brick red, which dominates the entire background and gives the rug its bold, classic foundation. Across this red field, the floral motifs appear primarily in ivory and soft beige, bringing contrast and brightness into the design.

The vine work and secondary detailing are highlighted with steel blue, muted sky blue, and soft sage green, adding cool balance against the warm red base. Deep navy outlines many of the floral elements, providing depth and crisp definition. Additional accent tones of walnut brown, antique gold, and charcoal gray appear throughout the blossoms and vine intersections.

The border system is anchored by a deep navy main border, filled with continuous floral scrolls, rosettes, and diamond-shaped medallions. Within the border, you see repeating accents of ivory, camel, brick red, and soft blue, tying the entire color story together seamlessly.

The fringe is natural cotton ivory, consistent with its cotton foundation and traditional construction.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This rug is completely hand knotted using high-grade Persian wool on a cotton foundation, producing a dense, weighty structure that resists wear and traffic far better than standard wool rugs. Bijar rugs are universally recognized as the highest quality Persian rugs within the wool category, valued for both their beauty and unmatched durability.

Condition

The rug is in excellent condition, with clean pattern definition, even pile height, strong corners, and intact fringe. The structure remains straight and firm, exactly as expected from a high-quality Bijar.
