This large hand-woven Persian tribal carpet dates from 1920 and is made from wool and cotton. The rectangular textile displays a striking combination of red and blue colours, featuring a central stepped diamond medallion on a deep red field, complemented by indigo blue spandrels and geometric tribal borders. Additional visible details include intricate white and dark geometric patterns arranged in repeating rows, along with fringed ends and minor nibbles along the edges with no staining. Measuring 247 cm wide by 172 cm deep, this carpet provides a practical floor covering suitable for grounding furniture layouts in principal reception rooms or bedrooms.

FAQs

Persian carpets are hand-woven floor coverings originating from Iran, defined by intricate geometric or floral designs, high knot counts, and regional tribal patterning.

Traditional Persian carpets are crafted using natural wool pile hand-knotted onto a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with organic or synthetic dyes.

Authentic hand-knotted carpets display visible knot patterns on the underside, flexible structural foundations, fringed edges formed by the warp threads, and slight natural variation in weave and dye shades.

Anchor a contemporary sitting room or dining space by placing the carpet beneath neutral furniture, allowing its geometric patterns and deep contrast colours to serve as the visual center.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating brush, rotate the carpet annually to balance foot traffic wear, and blot liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
