Woven in Qom, the Iranian city known for some of the finest and most technically accomplished twentieth-century Persian rug production, this vintage hand knotted wool carpet is in mint condition with its vegetable dyes fully intact and no restoration needed. The design uses a triple medallion format across a deep red field, with each medallion carrying a different ground color to create intentional variation and visual rhythm. The red field is densely covered in a small-scale all-over pattern of geometric floral forms in fuchsia, teal, and blue, giving the background rich texture and making the medallions stand out with greater clarity. Each medallion contains precise floral detailing in green, turquoise, ivory, and red, reflecting Qom’s reputation for fine, high knot-count weaving. An ivory border wraps the perimeter with a complete floral repeat in red, navy, and green, tying the field and medallions together into one cohesive composition. Vegetable dyes give every color warmth and clarity, and age has made the palette even richer.

Story Behind the Art: Originating in the historic Anatolian town of Oushak in western Turkey, Oushak rugs have been celebrated for centuries for their refined craftsmanship, generous scale, and timeless elegance. Renowned for their distinctive texture and luminous wool, these hand knotted rugs feature spacious compositions that set them apart from other Oriental rug traditions. Signature designs often showcase large central medallions, repeating geometric motifs, scrolling vines, palmettes, and delicate floral sprays arranged across open fields that create a sense of balance and sophistication. Woven from lustrous wool and traditionally rendered in soft earth tones, muted blues, warm ivories, and subtle terracottas, Oushak rugs bring an inviting warmth to any interior. Their versatile aesthetic seamlessly complements traditional, transitional, and contemporary spaces, making them enduring favorites among collectors, designers, and homeowners alike.
