ABOUT THIS PIECE
A vintage north-west Persian rug from Tarom, in the Zanjān region, woven during the 1970s. This piece features the iconic “flaming diamond” medallion design, originally associated with Mazlaghān, adapted here in workshop form with tighter drawing and a striking palette of ember orange, midnight indigo, and soft terracotta.
The symmetrical knotting, handspun wool pile, and cotton warp and weft structure reflect the workshop standards of the era. Though the colours have matured with time, the rug retains excellent clarity and presence. An expressive yet grounded piece, suitable for interiors seeking geometric dynamism with a softened village charm.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
207 × 133 CM (6'9" × 4'4"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
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.
Only 27 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.
Only 27 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.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
