Nahavand Rug Ref 708088
Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality LinkThis rural handwoven Nahavand rug, with an age of approximately 40 years, presents an authentic example of the region’s durable and functional textiles. Measuring 194 × 139 cm with an area of 2.7 m², it falls into the two-and-a-half-meter category and offers a well-balanced choice for medium-sized spaces. The approximate weight of 11 kg—averaging 4 kg per square meter—indicates a dense, stable structure suitable for everyday use. A knot density of 30 raj ensures precise knotting and overall structural cohesion, while the wool pile provides durability and a natural tactile quality. Cotton warp and weft contribute to better stability and a well-defined form. With its symmetrical structure and symbolic visual language, this rug represents a notable example of the narrative-oriented weavings of the Nahavand region. The overall composition is centered around a central medallion containing deliberately placed bird and human motifs. Birds—often symbols of life, movement, and connection to nature—appear alongside human figures that evoke daily life, rituals, and local beliefs, transforming the rug into a storytelling medium rather than a purely decorative object. The light cream background of the medallion contrasts intelligently with the darker surrounding frames, emphasizing the central motifs. Branches and vegetal elements around the medallion, reminiscent of symbolic trees, reinforce ideas of growth and continuity. The borders, with repeated geometric and small floral motifs, act as a protective frame and complete the visual harmony. Beyond its functional value, this rug carries a deep layer of cultural expression and the weaver’s worldview, making it a thoughtful choice for those interested in meaning and narrative within carpets. The corner-medallion (lachak–toranj) design with geometric motifs, set on a navy field with a red border, forms a powerful and classic composition. Chemical dyeing typical of the weaving period has preserved color clarity and durability, making this rug a reliable option for traditional as well as eclectic interiors.
