This exquisite antique Zanjan rug originates from the Northwest region of Iran, an area known for producing intricately woven, memory-crafted carpets that reflect the deep cultural and artistic heritage of rural villages.

The design features a striking row of four medallions, each beautifully woven onto a rich dark blue field, offering a strong visual contrast that immediately draws the eye. On either side of the field, soft stony grey panels are tastefully adorned with delicate floral motifs, lending the piece a graceful charm.

Framing the composition is a bold cream geometric border—the standout feature of this piece—that not only defines the rug’s layout but also adds structure and a sense of refinement to the overall design. Subtle abrash (color variation) within the border, where slightly darker shades appear in certain areas, further enhances its authentic vintage character and reflects the organic nature of traditional dyeing methods.

Hand-knotted using high-quality wool and natural dyes, this rug offers durability, warmth, and a soft, tactile finish. Woven entirely from memory, without a drawn template, this piece is a true testament to the weaver’s skill and intuition. Its balanced palette, medallion structure, and unique charm make it a standout choice for collectors and interior designers alike, perfectly suited for both traditional and modern spaces.
