About the Item
A powerful little statement piece — this circa-1950s hand-knotted wool rug from the Gholtogh village region in northwestern Iran showcases enduring tribal craftsmanship in a compact 3′×4′ size. Woven from hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, the rug features a dense, durable weave characteristic of the Gholtogh tradition.
The design centers on a strong medallion motif surrounded by bold geometric field elements and symmetrical borders. The palette reads rich yet grounded — deep rusts, indigos, greens, and charcoal accents that wear beautifully over time and lend authenticity in any room, large or small. The high‐quality wool pile offers softness and wear-resilience; this is a rug built to age gracefully and gain character through use.
Key Details:
- Origin: Gholtogh village region, northwestern Iran
- Approximate Date: 1950s — vintage era, one‐of‐its‐kind.
- Construction: Hand-knotted wool pile over cotton warp/weft, tribal village technique.
- Design Signature: Geometric medallion motif; tribal aesthetic with strong structure.
- Purpose
Style: Perfect for design-forward interiors seeking authentic tribal texture; works well in minimal, eclectic, or mid‐century settings.
Why this rug stands out: In a market flooded with machine-made “tribal style” carpets, this piece brings genuine hand-woven heritage — the kind of rug you show with pride, not settle for. Its compact format means you don’t need a sprawling space to enjoy it; it pulls together an interior with subtle force.
Orley Shabahang takes pride in selecting and curating the finest vintage and antique carpets, ensuring that the preservation of this ancient art form will endure for generations to come.
