Antique Varamin Carpet 307x217cm

From the historic city of Varamin, located just outside Tehran, comes this exquisite and finely woven carpet. Although Varamin has a small weaving output, the quality of its rugs has consistently earned the region high regard among collectors and connoisseurs.

This particular piece stands out for its rare cream ground, a more challenging base colour to produce and one that enhances the clarity and brightness of the design. The carpet features the Tehran design—a refined and less common pattern made up of latticed flower heads interspersed with peacocks, symbolising beauty and renewal in Persian art.

The level of fineness in the weave is exceptional, ensuring crisp detail and long-lasting durability. The composition is both structured and joyful, making it an elegant yet spirited choice to anchor a room, whether traditional or contemporary in style.

As a decorative centrepiece, this Varamin carpet with Tehran design adds warmth, elegance, and rare charm, reflecting the cultural richness and artistic excellence of Persian weaving.
