Discover the charm of this Vintage Persian Rug measuring 3.6 by 2.65 metres, handwoven in the Qaraja tribal tradition from Northwest Persia. Crafted with locally sourced pure wool, this rug features a finely woven texture that highlights its exceptional quality and durability.
The design centres on a velvety red field adorned with intricate animal and plant motifs, reflecting traditional tribal symbolism. Surrounding this are geometric patterns and sophisticated borders, enriched with a palette of coral, olive green, navy blue, sky blue, and ivory highlights. These colours have aged gracefully thanks to the use of natural vegetable dyes, lending the rug a unique character and a subtle variation in tones known as 'abrash'.
This sizeable rug is ideal for adding warmth and history to living rooms or hallways, serving as both floor covering and decorative art. It includes fringes on both ends, maintaining its authentic vintage appeal from circa 1960. The rug's organic materials and dyes also make it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious homes.
As a handwoven vintage rug, it requires appropriate care to preserve its beauty and longevity. Its distinctive story and craftsmanship make it a valuable addition to any home seeking authentic Persian artistry and heritage.
