Vintage Iranian Handwoven Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

A richly patterned Iranian handwoven rug, showcasing a dynamic interplay of geometric forms and symbolic figures. The central axis features branching motifs and square medallions, each housing stylised representations of animals and human figures—possibly evoking themes of fertility, protection, or tribal storytelling. The palette of earthy reds, browns, and blacks is framed by a repeating border of floral and geometric elements, lending rhythm and balance to the composition. Woven in wool and marked “Made in Iran,” the rug measures approximately 187 × 100 cm and retains its original fringe. A vibrant and characterful piece, rich in cultural heritage and visual impact.

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

Iranian tribal rugs are handcrafted textiles produced by nomadic or village weavers across Iran. They feature symbolic, geometric motifs, animal depictions, and stylized vegetation, with design patterns often woven from memory rather than drawn cartoons.

Traditional Iranian rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. The yarns are coloured using natural plant and mineral dyes, resulting in rich variations in hue across the textile.

Authentic pieces exhibit slight natural variations in size, symmetry, and dye shades, known as abrash. On the reverse side, the hand-tied knots should be clearly visible and slightly uneven, distinct from the uniform latex backing of machine-made reproductions.

Tribal rugs work as anchoring elements over hardwood or polished concrete floors in contemporary settings. Layering a geometric vintage rug alongside neutral furniture adds textural warmth, historical context, and visual interest to modern schemes.

Vacuum regularly using suction only to avoid damaging the fibers with a rotary beater bar. Address spills immediately by blotting with a dry cloth, use a rug pad underneath to prevent wear, and seek professional specialist cleaning when required.
