Antique Zanjan Rug 194x114cm

This exquisite antique Zanjan rug originates from the northwest region of Iran, a renowned area for producing intricately woven carpets made entirely from memory—an extraordinary testament to the artistry of village weavers.

The design showcases a striking row of four medallions beautifully woven onto a rich dark blue field, creating a bold contrast that immediately captures attention. On either side of the central field, stony grey panels are delicately decorated with graceful floral motifs, adding softness and balance.

The standout feature of this rug is its cream geometric border, which frames the entire composition with strength and refinement. Subtle abrash (natural shade variations) within the border adds to its authentic charm, reflecting the organic dyeing methods used by master artisans.

Crafted from high-quality wool and dyed with natural pigments, this rug offers durability, warmth, and a soft tactile texture. Its creation—hand-knotted entirely without a template—speaks to the exceptional intuition and skill of the weaver.

Perfectly balancing tradition with decorative appeal, this rug is a superb addition for collectors, interior designers, and those seeking the finest Persian rugs London has to offer. A true standout in the market for handmade rugs UK, it brings depth, history, and artistry to any space.
