This large early 20th century Persian rug follows a traditional Persian style, rendered in wool and cotton with a deep red ground. The hand-knotted textile displays a detailed ivory central medallion, an elaborate floral border, and intricate spandrel patterns across its surface. Visible details include areas of threadbare wear and gentle fading that reflect its age. Measuring 327 cm wide by 195 cm deep, the carpet provides substantial floor coverage for a generous living space. In a contemporary home, this piece works well anchored in a drawing room, study, or entrance hall to bring warmth and texture to timber floorboards. The earthy tones and classic pattern integrate smoothly into traditional interiors or eclectic English country house schemes. Regular vacuuming on a low setting without a beater brush helps maintain the weave. Professional cleaning preserves the natural wool and cotton fibres over time.
