This antique two-and-a-half-meter handmade rug is a distinguished example of rural weaving from the Zanjan region, clearly reflecting the authenticity of its design and local identity. Measuring 200 × 122 cm with an area of 2.44 m², it is a balanced choice for medium-sized spaces and fits easily into classic or eclectic interiors. Its age of around 40 years gives the rug a depth and character found only in well-aged pieces. A knot density of 30 raj indicates precision in knotting and solid structural integrity. With an approximate weight of 10 kg and an average of 4 kg per square meter, it offers a pleasant handle while remaining durable. The corner-medallion (lachak–toranj) design with the Herati (fish) motif, set on a madder-red ground with a matching border, creates a dynamic and warm composition characteristic of Zanjan carpets. Wool pile combined with cotton warp and weft provides natural texture and reliable durability, making this rug a valuable choice for admirers of authentic rural carpets.
