Vintage Boroujen Rug 197x130cm

Woven in Boroujen, a city within Iran’s Bakhtiari region, this rug represents a notable exception to the area’s typically average-quality output. This piece is a superior example, showcasing above-average craftsmanship, handspun wool, and the use of natural dyes—a rare and impressive combination.

The design features a striking Herati (Mahi) pattern, which stands out vividly against the deep navy blue background, offering a classic, rhythmic elegance prized by collectors and decorators alike. The finely woven details enhance the clarity and symmetry of the pattern, making this a truly distinguished example of its kind.

Adding further beauty is the light blue border, adorned with large stylised floral motifs that soften the overall composition and create a captivating contrast to the darker field. This colour pairing—navy and light blue—is both timeless and decorative, making the rug versatile for use in traditional or transitional interiors.

Rugs of this age and quality from Boroujen are seldom found in such excellent condition, making this piece not only a decorative treasure but also a smart addition to a serious collection.
