Description

In lovely original condition, this is a very finely woven antique Tehran carpet woven around 110 years ago in Persia. The size is unusually square, and with an all over elegant fine design, the weavers have used a wonderful pale yellow colour.  This yellow, as well as all the other dyes are all of vegetable origins and have aged beautifully.

Tehran is the capital of Iran, the greatest carpet producing country in the world. However, while traditional rugs have been woven in a variety of styles throughout Persia for centuries and centuries Tehran itself only became a centre of rug production after the great revival of Persian weaving in the late nineteenth century.

FAQs

Tehran carpets originate from the capital city of Iran and are celebrated for their fine craftsmanship, intricate floral motifs, and sophisticated urban weaving traditions dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Authentic Persian carpets are traditionally crafted using hand-spun wool for the pile, often set upon a foundation of cotton or occasionally silk, dyed using natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authentication involves examining the hand-knotted fringe integration, irregularities in natural dyes, knot density on the reverse side, and the characteristic wear patterns consistent with age.

An antique carpet can anchor a contemporary room by providing textural contrast against minimalist furnishings, warming up polished hardwood floors, or bridging transitional design aesthetics.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised washing, rotation to ensure even wear, and protection from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
