Zanjan Rugs reflect the weaving heritage of northwest Iran, shaped by generations of tribal village craftsmanship. Many Zanjan carpets are recognised for their geometric medallion patterns, often framed in distinctive, richly dyed borders. The interplay of bold reds, deep blues, and warm neutrals is a hallmark of the region, achieved through the use of quality natural dyes that age with appealing subtlety over time.

Within this collection, a diversity of approach is evident - from all-over floral and animal motifs to structured central medallions, each handmade Zanjan rug showcases the maker’s careful attention to both tradition and individual creativity. The weaving structure tends toward durability, with a medium pile that suits both functional use and visual impact, making vintage vintage Zanjan rugs and runners especially practical in UK interiors where longevity is valued.

While influenced by larger Persian weaving traditions, Zanjan runner rugs in particular are noted for their adaptability to narrow spaces and hallways. As with other northwest Iran rug weaving centres, the variety found in Zanjan pieces makes them an ideal choice for those seeking a balance of craft heritage and design versatility.
