Antique Heinegoon Carpet 324x161cm

From Heinegoon, a lesser-known town in the Bakhtiyari region of western Iran, comes this exceptional handwoven rug—a piece that far surpasses the typical quality associated with the area’s weaving traditions.

Woven using high-quality handspun wool and natural vegetable dyes, this rug stands out for both its craftsmanship and unique design. The royal blue ground sets a bold, elegant stage for five central medallions, flanked by large stylised flower heads and a delightful scattering of small tribal motifs that bring the field to life with charm and energy.

The terracotta spandrels are particularly striking—gracefully adorned with paisley motifs that enhance the rug’s traditional beauty and balance. Perhaps most unique is the unusual cream border, rarely found in rugs from this region, which adds contrast and frames the composition with sophistication.

Though a small area of the rug has undergone expert repiling, it is virtually undetectable and does not detract from its overall appearance. The piece maintains an even low pile and is in very good condition, especially for its age.

Whether used as a hallway rug in a large home or as a statement piece in a living room, this collectible rug offers exceptional visual appeal, construction quality, and cultural richness.
