8x12 Vintage Hand-Knotted Rug - 47677

Woven by hand in wool on a cotton foundation, this 50–70-year-old Persian rug is organized around a contemporary design. A contemporary layout defines the composition and separates this piece from other rugs in the same collection.

The pattern has a more contemporary visual reading while retaining the irregularity and construction of an older hand-knotted carpet.

Visually, this rug presents a muted multicolor palette with a heavily softened, low-contrast pattern. The field and border show uneven tonal depth that is characteristic of an older surface rather than a uniformly colored new rug.

At approximately 257 x 375 cm, this 8x12 Persian rug can sit beneath the front legs of a seating group, define a bedroom zone or add pattern beneath a dining arrangement, depending on the room scale. A hand-knotted wool surface over cotton gives the rug dependable structure without sacrificing the irregularity and tonal softness of an older textile.

The interplay of softened color, visible hand work and surviving design makes this piece visually distinct from newly produced rugs. The softened wool surface also allows the field and border to remain readable without the sharper contrast associated with a newly woven carpet.

Professionally washed and in excellent condition, this one-of-a-kind vintage Persian rug is ready to use.
