Description

This Middle Eastern figural hand-knotted rug features a richly detailed woodland scene with deer, birds and foliage, woven in deep reds, indigo blues and soft natural tones. Narrative rugs of this kind are prized for their storytelling quality, combining decorative impact with traditional Persian weaving techniques.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug displays a pictorial composition rather than a purely geometric design, placing it within a long tradition of figural and hunting-scene rugs produced across Persia and the wider Middle East. The slightly irregular edges, gentle wear and softened colours reflect its age and handmade nature, adding to its authenticity and charm.

At 70 × 97 cm, this rug is ideally sized for use as wall-hung textile art, though it can also be layered into an interior as a small accent rug or displayed over furniture. Each detail rewards close inspection, making it a strong decorative piece for collectors and design-led interiors alike.

Dimensions: 70 × 97 cm

FAQs

Pictorial rugs are handwoven textiles that feature figurative representations of animals, humans, or narrative scenes, often diverging from purely geometric or floral motifs found in traditional carpet weaving.

These pieces are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile and foundation, often dyed with natural vegetable or mineral colorants, and secured with hand-knotted techniques like the Persian or Turkish knot.

Authentic handmade rugs feature irregular knots visible on the reverse side, slight variations in colour due to batch dyeing, and natural inconsistencies in symmetry and dimensions.

Pictorial rugs can be displayed as wall hangings using specialised sleeves or clips to protect the textile, serving as a focal point in a study, living room, or hallway.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fade, and professional cleaning by specialists experienced in antique textiles.
