Vintage Nahavand Vagireh (Plan) Persian Rug

Handwoven from shiny handspun wool on a durable cotton foundation in the ancient city of Nahavand in western Iran which is a major rug weaving region with a standout reputation.

Usually, very lustrous wool is used, providing a strong personality to the patterns and design of the carpet. The distinctive rectilinear design of these robust carpets was inspired in part by nomadic rugs. In many cases, a central medallion sets the tone which is decorated with leaf, flower and branch motifs. The colour combination is kept light with a deep contrasting equilibrium making the intricate design work shine through.

Woven over half a century ago this carpet still maintains its natural lustre and shine due to high-quality materials and tightly woven construction
