Vintage Fine Miane Afshan Persian Rug
ABOUT THIS PIECE
Handwoven in Miane, northwestern Persia, this semi-antique carpet runner has been made from quality handspun wool on a durable cotton foundation.
Miane carpets are known for their fine weaves using double-weft symmetrical knots, locally sourced high-quality wool and dyes, diverse design types and high-contrast colour rendering.
Woven over half a century ago this carpet still maintains its natural lustre and shine due to high-quality materials and tightly woven construction.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
317 × 157 CM (10'5" × 5'2"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
Long enough for a 3-seater sofa but not deep enough to reach under its front legs as well as hold the coffee table, so it sits just in front with the table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island.
The chairs sit on the rug at the table, but with 39 cm of rug beyond the table their back legs catch the edge when pulled out. 60 cm is the comfortable margin.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 67 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
