Hand knotted in Birjand, a renowned weaving center in eastern Iran, this vintage wool carpet features an intricate all-over floral lattice design set against a warm peach field. Flowing vines, rosettes, and layered botanical motifs repeat continuously across the surface without interruption from a central medallion, creating remarkable visual depth and movement. Navy and cobalt blue florals provide strong contrast against the peach ground, while accents in ivory, gold, orange, and red enrich the composition. A deeper red border filled with coordinating floral motifs in blush, blue, and ivory frames the field in perfect proportion. Vegetable dyes give the palette exceptional warmth and tonal consistency, qualities that have matured beautifully over time. Vintage and in good condition with even low pile and no staining or damage, this hand knotted Persian rug has been professionally cleaned and restored.

Story Behind the Art: Originating from the ancient city of Hamedan in western Iran, one of the country’s oldest and most prolific weaving centers, Hamedan rugs are renowned for their exceptional strength and long-lasting performance. Woven from robust local wool rich in natural character, these hand knotted rugs feature a dense, durable pile designed to withstand generations of use. Their designs typically showcase bold central or multiple medallions surrounded by angular vines, geometric motifs, stylized florals, and occasional animal figures, reflecting the tribal and village traditions of the region. While less formal than the intricate workshop rugs of other Persian weaving centers, Hamedan rugs possess a distinctive authenticity and expressive charm that celebrates the beauty of geometric design. Their combination of durable construction, rich color palettes, and powerful visual presence has made them enduring favorites among collectors and interior designers alike.
