Hand-knotted in Nahavand, Iran, this semi-antique Persian rug embodies the bold, tribal character of its weaving tradition. A striking geometric medallion anchors the design, surrounded by stylised motifs that echo the region’s symbolic language, reminiscent of tribal forms and abstract animal representations.

The earthy palette of brick red and navy blue is enriched with tones of teal, ivory, and soft green, creating a dynamic yet grounded aesthetic. The navy border, adorned with angular devices, provides structure and balance, while delicate guard bands offer a refined transition between field and frame.

Perfect for traditional or eclectic interiors, this rug makes a commanding focal point, infusing spaces with heritage and authenticity. Its proportions suit hallways, studies, or living areas where character and craftsmanship are celebrated.

What size of rug should I purchase?

If you need help finding a rug to suit, or if you've seen a rug that you like but it's not quite the right size, let us know and give us your minimum and maximum sizes and we can help you find the perfect rug.

How do I care for my handmade rug or carpet?

Handmade Persian and Oriental rugs should be vacuumed regularly, we always recommend that where possible you should use the suction-only setting on your vacuum as it is more gentle on the pile and will help prolong the life of your rug. However we do recognise that most people will use the brush bar and this of course does a more thorough job.

Key is to ensure the rug does not become overly dusty a small dust and debris particles like sand can be sharp and can cut through the fibres over time.

We do suggest you be careful nearer the tassels (fringes) and sides (selvages) of the rug as these get caught in a vacuum.

On top of this we recommend professional rug cleaning every 5 years or so, this will help remove ingrained dust and dirt and refresh the rug, ensuring it maintains its looks for years and even generations to come.
