This antique two-and-a-half-meter handwoven rug, dating back approximately 40 years, is a distinguished example of rural weaving from the Zanjan region, clearly reflecting a structured composition and a direct expression of geometric motifs. Measuring 192 × 124 cm with a surface area of 2.39 square meters, it is well suited for living spaces, home offices, or traditional interiors. A weaving density of 30 raj indicates precise knotting and a uniform surface, ensuring the rug’s structural strength. The wool pile combined with cotton warp and weft creates a balanced, well-shaped, and durable texture, while the approximate weight of 10 kg reflects suitable thickness and ease of everyday use. The consistent madder-red tone across both field and border produces a warm, energetic, and cohesive visual effect, highlighting the geometric corner-and-central medallion design. This rug is an excellent choice for those who value authentic simplicity, regional identity, and practical handwoven carpets for daily living.
