This handwoven rug, with an age of approximately 40 years, is a notable example of rural carpets from the Zanjan region, combining authentic design with solid structural quality. Measuring 199 × 102 cm and covering an area of 2.03 square meters, it is well suited for compact spaces such as entrances or small living areas. A knot density of 30 raj reflects careful knotting and the orderly execution of the corner-and-medallion geometric motifs, which appear with strong clarity across the field. The approximate weight of 9 kg, with an average of 4 kg per square meter, provides a balanced combination of density and everyday usability. The lacquer-red ground paired with a dark navy border creates a warm, deep visual effect that enhances the geometric structure of the design. Wool pile combined with cotton warp and weft ensures durability, softness, and reliable performance for long-term daily use.
