Red Antique Persian Talish Rug - 3'2" x 4'8"

This antique Persian Talish rug measures 3 feet 2 inches by 4 feet 8 inches, offering a traditional accent piece for various spaces. Originating from Iran, this hand-knotted rug is crafted entirely from wool, known for its durability and natural texture.

The rug features a dominant red field, characterized by deep, earthy tones that lean towards terracotta or rust. This central color is complemented by a palette that includes cream, various shades of blue (ranging from teal to navy), brown, green, and subtle gold accents. The design is distinctly geometric, typical of Talish tribal rugs. A prominent, elongated central medallion-like motif anchors the field, composed of angular shapes, hooks, and stepped elements. This central design is surrounded by a field filled with abstract patterns and repeated forms in contrasting colors.

Multiple borders frame the rug's central design. The innermost border contains small, repeating geometric shapes. The main border showcases larger, more defined motifs, such as stylized stars or crosses, interspersed with other traditional patterns. The outermost guard border provides a subtle finish with a narrow, repeating design. The hand-knotted construction ensures each knot contributes to the rug’s intricate pattern and long-lasting quality.

This traditional wool rug is suitable for various applications, including entryways, studies, or as an accent piece in a living room or bedroom. Its robust construction and classic design make it a functional and decorative item.
