Vintage Tafresh Rug 208x139cm

From the town of Tafresh in central Iran—known for its modest but high-quality carpet production—comes this honest and beautifully balanced rug that showcases the region’s distinct style and character.

At the heart of the design is the signature Sunburst Tafresh medallion, a bold and radiant form that anchors the composition with elegance and strength. It sits on a soft rose-coloured field, framed by bold spandrels that add structure and contrast.

One of the rug’s most distinctive features is the unusual cream paisley motif that runs along the inner cream border—a subtle yet rare detail that adds decorative interest and cultural symbolism. Paisleys, or botehs, traditionally represent life and fertility in Persian design.

The colour palette is soft and inviting, making this a rug that will integrate easily into a wide variety of interior settings—from traditional to bohemian or transitional décor. Woven with durable wool, it’s a piece that is not only visually pleasing but also built to last.

This Tafresh rug is a testament to the quieter corners of Persian weaving—less prolific but full of character, making it a rewarding choice for anyone seeking something distinctive and long-lasting.
