Sweet simple geometric lines meets deep, meaningful symbolism. Woven in the 1920s, this antique Persian rug is an absolute knockout packed with saturated, rich vegetable dyes that give it a vibrant red pop. The field showcases a playful, ribbon-like motif against a candy stripe design that draws your eyes all the way down the rug, framed by a delicate floral chain border. It’s a whole lot of personality.
If you look closely at the borders, you'll find eight-pointed stars woven throughout, an ancient tribal symbol representing happiness and fertility. It features a low pile with light scattered wear, along with a bit of extra softening along one end and corner that only adds to its authentic, century-old personality. Full of warmth and positive energy, this piece is ready to bring its vibrant story straight into your home! Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
