Antique 1930s Wool Persian Semnan Rug in Cream, Black, and Pink, 5' x 7'

About the Item

Measuring 4’7” x 6’6”, this antique Persian Semnan carpet is hand-knotted and utilizes beautiful and subtle shades of cream, black, and pink. This piece was hand-knotted using a traditional Persian weave, which provides a plush pile and a durable foundation. To obtain the bright blue, gold, pink, brown, and green tones of wool, the Persian weavers utilized organic vegetable dyes. Still preferred today, these organic dyes are sought after for their bright hues and fade-resistant qualities. Orley Shabahang takes pride in selecting and curating the finest vintage and antique carpets, ensuring that the preservation of this ancient art form will endure for generations to come.
