Vintage Gholtogh Rug 160x107cm

A Tribal Powerhouse: The Lustrous Vintage Gholtogh

This vintage Gholtogh is a “rug lover’s” rug—an honest, authentic piece of Persian history that combines a heavy-duty build with a sophisticated color story. Woven with exceptionally high-quality wool and saturated with traditional natural dyes, the carpet possesses a remarkable depth of colour and a beautiful natural sheen that allows the light to dance across its surface.

Iconic Northwest Persian Geometry

• The Central Medallion: The rug is anchored by a prominent light blue medallion, a striking choice that provides a cool, luminous focal point.

• Terracotta & Herati Field: The ground is a rich, warm terracotta red, densely populated with the classic Herati (Mahi) motif. This “fish” design is not only artistically significant but is also favored by designers for its ability to mask foot traffic and furniture indentations.

• The Framing Border: The vibrant field is perfectly contained within a dark blue (indigo) geometric border. This crisp, dark frame projects the warmth of the terracotta ground forward, giving the rug an impressive “presence” in any room.

Robustness & Heritage

Gholtogh rugs are famous for their robustness. They are very well-woven with a heavy handle, ensuring they lay perfectly flat and resist wear for generations. This piece is in good vintage condition, making it a prime candidate for a high-traffic entryway, a dining room, or a grand library.
