Tafresh Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

Tafresh rugs resemble Hamadan pieces wit their single wefts and cotton foundation. They are however more finely knotted which provides for more elaborate designs and softer curves. The central medallion dominates and the variation in the blue background provides a sense of depth. The coral like growths that emerge from the edge of each spandrel as well as the inner central medallion are very appealing. A very decorative rug with a hard wearing foundation and a great look.

Excellent condition, an outer guard stripe is missing from one end.

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

Originating from the central region of Iran, Tafresh rugs are renowned for their intricate central medallions, delicate floral field patterns, and refined colour palettes influenced by regional weaving traditions.

These textiles are traditionally hand-knotted using a durable wool pile woven onto a strong cotton warp and weft foundation, often dyed with natural vegetable pigments.

Authentic pieces feature asymmetrical hand-bound selvedges, slight natural dye abrashes, a flexible textile handle, and characteristic circular or starburst central medallions flanked by ornate spandrels and avian motifs.

A vibrant Persian rug serves as a foundational element in contemporary or traditional spaces, offering visual warmth, intricate pattern, and historic character when paired with neutral upholstery or dark wood furniture.

Regular maintenance requires suction-only vacuuming to protect the pile, periodic rotation to balance foot traffic wear, and immediate spot-cleaning using cold water and mild wool-safe detergents.
