ABOUT THIS PIECE

A Tafresh carpet embodies the rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship of one of Iran’s most storied rug-making regions.

Hailing from Tafresh, a city deeply entwined with Persian history, these carpets are meticulously handwoven using high-quality wool. The intricate designs, often featuring elaborate central medallions, intricate borders, and geometric patterns, showcase a fusion of historical influences and architectural motifs unique to the region. The colour palette, ranging from deep reds and earthy browns to vibrant blues and oranges, is achieved with natural vegetable dyes, enhancing both their aesthetic appeal and historical authenticity. Each piece not only serves as a luxurious addition to any interior but also as a tangible connection to the rich tapestry of Persian cultural heritage.

SIZE AND FIT

How it sits in your room.

198 × 137 CM (6'6" × 4'6"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.

LIVING ROOM
3-SEATERTABLE
In front of the sofa

About the length of a 3-seater sofa, so it sits just in front of it with the coffee table on it. Floated like this it reads as a deliberate island rather than a rug that came up short.

DINING ROOM
TABLE
Too small for this table

Only 29 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.

BEDROOM
QUEEN
Narrow for a queen bed

Only 23 cm of rug would show either side of a queen bed. It works, but 45 cm or more looks settled. At the foot of the bed it suits well.

YOUR ROOM

Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
