Measuring 3 feet 4 inches by 5 feet 9 inches, this wool rug offers an ideal scale for intimate spaces while maintaining the complexity and refinement expected from Persian textile traditions. The traditional border frames the central design with complementary geometric patterns, creating a harmonious balance between the various decorative elements. This piece represents the enduring appeal of Persian rug making, where technical precision meets artistic vision to create floor coverings of lasting beauty and functionality.
