About the Item

A Glimpse into Persian Weaving Heritage This exquisite handmade antique Persian Yazd rug, dating from the 1920s, offers a captivating journey into the rich artistic traditions of Yazd, a historic city in central Iran renowned for its fine carpet weaving. Crafted from 100% natural wool, this piece embodies the enduring beauty and meticulous artistry of early 20th-century Persian carpets. Its good condition, despite its age, speaks to the high quality of materials and expert craftsmanship. Ornate Design and Harmonious Palette The rug features a captivating design, centered by a dominant navy blue field that provides a deep, luxurious backdrop. A grand central medallion, adorned with an intricate floral motif in shades of light blue, ivory, and subtle pinks, radiates outwards, drawing the eye. The field is richly decorated with an all-over pattern of finely detailed floral sprays, including palmettes, rosettes, and delicate vines, primarily in complementary tones of red, ivory, and hints of green and gold. This intricate network of botanical elements creates a sense of continuous movement and natural beauty. The main border beautifully frames the central artistry, featuring a series of repeating floral cartouches and intricate guard borders that echo the palette and motifs of the field, showcasing the thoughtful design and balance inherent in Persian weaving. Enduring Quality and Craftsmanship Hand-knotted with natural wool, this rug exemplifies the dedication to quality found in antique Persian textiles. The density of the knots contributes to its durability and the rich, plush feel underfoot. Despite being nearly a century old, the rug remains in good condition, retaining its vibrant colors and intricate pattern, a testament to its robust construction and the longevity characteristic of genuine antique Persian rugs. Its well-preserved state ensures it is ready to enrich your space for many more years. A Timeless Statement for Refined Interiors With its classical Persian design and harmonious color scheme, this Yazd rug is a versatile piece that can elevate a variety of interior styles, from traditional and transitional to bohemian and eclectic. It serves as an impressive focal point in a living room, adds warmth and character to a dining area, or brings a touch of historical elegance to a study or grand entryway. As a genuine antique, it not only offers aesthetic beauty but also holds intrinsic value as a piece of cultural heritage and a testament to the timeless artistry of Persian rug makers. This rug is more than a floor covering; it is a piece of history, ready to become a treasured heirloom. 3.
