Vintage Handwoven Persian Rug in Indigo and Madder Red

A beautifully handwoven vintage Persian rug distinguished by its richly layered geometric design and an exceptionally detailed field of symbolic motifs. Three large hexagonal medallions anchor the composition, framed by an intricate border of stylised flowers and repeating geometric patterns. Woven in a palette of deep indigo, madder red, soft ivory, and muted terracotta, the colours have mellowed gracefully with age, giving the rug a remarkable sense of depth and warmth.

The densely woven field is filled with finely rendered birds, floral forms, and traditional motifs, reflecting the extraordinary craftsmanship and artistic heritage of Persian weaving. The gentle fading and soft patina acquired over several decades lend the rug an effortless elegance that cannot be replicated in newly made pieces. Whether placed beneath a dining table, in a sitting room, or layered within a contemporary interior, it offers both visual richness and a profound sense of history.

Handwoven from natural wool, this rug remains a testament to the enduring quality of traditional craftsmanship, where every knot contributes to a textile designed to be lived with and cherished for generations.
