Description

Veramin weavings are mostly characterised by being stiff, late and dull. I almost never buy them because they are so boring. However, every now and then one pops up which is an absolute delight, and here it is. This beautiful Veramin is everything the vast majority are not. It seems to exude light despite being navy ground and that is because of the exceptionally well patinated wool and also the superb dyes which are deep and rich. As you can also see, the design is delightfully asymmetrical, with the zig-zagging vines along the sides and the diminishing number of in fillers as you descend the field. The rug is lively, vivacious and very attractive. Exactly what a good rug should be, inventive and interesting to look at. Showing heavy wear in places but still in one piece with no holes so could be used 'as is' although I am seriously considering sending it away for a professional refurb. This will add a zero to the end price so available unrestored for now at a knock down price.

6'3" x 10'2"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Veramin Carpet to the 1880s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Veramin carpets originate from the town of Veramin south of Tehran in Iran, traditionally recognised for durable construction and distinctive geometric or Mina Khani botanical motifs.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using wool pile on cotton or wool foundations, employing natural vegetable dyes that yield rich, complex colour patination over time.

Authenticity is evaluated by inspecting the knot density on the reverse, assessing the organic variation in natural dyes, and examining the hand-spun characteristics of the wool fibre.

Positioning the rug on hardwood or stone flooring anchors contemporary spaces, providing textural contrast and grounding minimalist furniture arrangements with historical depth.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist washing when necessary, and rotation to ensure even wear patterns.
