This three-meter carpet, with an age of nearly four decades, reflects the visual tradition of Zanjan carpet weaving—a tradition in which fish-like motifs, broken lines, and rhythmical compositions define the structure of the rug. Measuring 216 × 141 centimeters with a total area of 3.05 square meters, it is well suited for medium-sized spaces. The 30-raj weave emphasizes the cohesion and structural strength of the region’s weaving method. A wool pile combined with cotton warp and weft creates a flexible yet durable body, while the approximate weight of 13 kilograms indicates a dense and robust construction. The deep navy ground, framed by a matching border, provides an orderly setting for a polygonal medallion and a network of diamonds, stepped forms, and hooked motifs. Chemical dyeing has ensured the long-term stability and depth of the dark, intense colors. This handwoven piece is a worthy choice for those who appreciate rural authenticity expressed through a bold geometric language.
