Purple is rarely used as a dominant colour in traditional rug weaving, but when it appears, it creates a deep and memorable impact. These rugs often feature tones of plum, aubergine, or soft lilac, emerging from natural dye variation, age-softened reds, or deliberate modern palettes.

In this collection, you'll find pieces where purple appears in full fields, as a faded base, or as detailing within floral and geometric borders. Most come from Afghan and Indian production, though some fine Persian reinterpretations may carry violet or wine tones as a secondary hue.

These rugs work particularly well in interiors that embrace mood and character. Whether paired with natural light, neutral walls, or layered textiles, purple tones add quiet drama without overwhelming a space.
