Zanjan Rug Ref 708006
This antique three-and-a-half-meter handwoven carpet, measuring 224 × 147 cm with a surface area of 3.3 square meters, is an authentic example of rural weaving from the Zanjan region, with an age of approximately 40 years, clearly preserving its local identity. Its 30-raj structure imparts a controlled and rhythmic order to the geometric motifs, firmly establishing the Lachak-Toranj design with high clarity across the field. The warm madder-red ground provides a powerful foundation for the motifs, while the dignified navy border creates a well-judged visual boundary that adds depth to the overall composition. This carpet, with its cohesive structure and rich array of geometric elements, represents a distinguished expression of Zanjan’s rural weaving tradition. At the center lies a multi-layered medallion composed of angular, broken lines, expanding step-like toward the field and highlighted in bluish-gray, navy, and madder tones. Acting as a visual core, this central medallion draws the eye inward. The madder-red field is densely filled with small geometric details, abstract floral elements, and repeated motifs arranged in a rhythmic order, generating a sense of movement and vitality. The main border, decorated with cross-like and four-petal geometric motifs, forms a precise frame that clearly separates the field from the edges. Subtle color variations—resulting from time and traditional dyeing—add visual depth and an aged character, making this piece a compelling choice for classic or eclectic interiors. The wool pile combined with cotton warp and weft provides both tactile softness and structural durability, suitable for long-term use. An approximate weight of 14 kg and an average density of 4 kg per square meter confirm the desirable compactness and finishing quality of this carpet—an authoritative choice for spaces where authenticity, strength, and regional expression matter.
