Red Persian Oriental Rug 9' 6" X 14' 3" Hand-Knotted | No. AT75309

A warm red field anchors this Najafabad hand-knotted rug, its geometric patterning arranged in the measured, repeating rhythm characteristic of central Persian workshop weaving. Decades of use have mellowed the red tones to a depth that new wool cannot replicate, and the pile carries that quiet, settled patina that only age and handling produce. The geometry reads with clarity across the field, its borders holding the composition with confident symmetry. Najafabad, a weaving center in Isfahan Province, has produced wool rugs of consistent structural quality for generations, and this piece reflects that tradition in its tightly knotted construction and balanced proportions. The wool pile, softened and compacted with age, has developed the kind of resilience that antique hand-knotted rugs are specifically valued for, holding color and form long after comparable machine-made goods have faded. Scaled for a dining room, living room, or study, this rug works particularly well beneath dark wood furniture where its red field gains contrast. Collectors and decorators seeking hand-knotted oriental rugs with proven age and geometric character will find it a functional and considered choice.…
