This antique handwoven rug, with an age of approximately 40 years, is a distinguished example of rural carpets from the Zanjan region, in which the authenticity of design and construction is clearly evident throughout the piece. Measuring 202 × 125 cm with an area of 2.53 square meters, it offers a balanced scale suitable for living spaces, medium-sized rooms, or both traditional and contemporary interiors. The rectangular structure, combined with a weaving density of 30 raj, reflects a regular, solid, and well-proportioned weave appropriate for everyday use. The Lachak–Toranj design, expressed through a geometric language, creates a composition based on symmetry and visual rhythm, while its angular motifs reinforce the rug’s authentic local character. The navy-blue field lends depth and dignity to the piece, and the blue border provides a gentle contrast that frames the composition effectively. The use of a wool pile together with cotton warp and weft ensures durability, stability, and a pleasant tactile quality over time. This rug is a fitting choice for those seeking an authentic, well-crafted piece with a strong and independent visual identity.
