This 10’1” x 12’4” antique hand-knotted Persian Ghazvin area rug features a striking red field adorned with intricate floral and vine motifs. At the center, a classic medallion design with layered petals and scrollwork draws the eye, framed by delicate corner spandrels that balance the composition. The soft color palette, including shades of ivory, blue, and muted rose, creates a rich yet harmonious contrast against the dominant red background.
The border design is composed of multiple guard stripes surrounding a broad main band, each filled with repeating floral patterns and arabesques. This layered frame not only enhances the rug’s visual depth but also reflects the traditional Persian approach to symbolizing infinite gardens and sacred geometry. The precision of the knotting and the elegant flow of the motifs demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship characteristic of Ghazvin weavers.
As an antique piece, the rug carries the charm of natural wool fibers and age-softened dyes, which give it warmth and subtle variation in tone. Its large size and refined design make it a statement piece suitable for anchoring a formal living space or a grand dining room. A rug of this caliber is both a functional floor covering and a piece of collectible artistry, reflecting centuries of Persian weaving tradition.
