A Touch of Persian Elegance: Vintage Kazvin Rug
This handmade vintage Persian Kazvin rug, dating from the 1960s, is a sublime expression of classical Persian weaving. Hailing from the historic city of Qazvin (Kazvin), this piece exemplifies the region's reputation for refined artistry and masterful craftsmanship. Known for their precise knotting and curvilinear floral designs, Kazvin rugs offer a balance of richness and subtlety that few other city rugs achieve.
This elegant example, woven from 100% wool, carries with it a legacy of artistic tradition—refined in style, vibrant in color, and graceful in presence.
Elegant Design and Rich Palette
The design centers on an intricate floral medallion that blooms from the heart of a deep red field. This medallion is surrounded by sweeping arabesques and graceful floral vines, woven in navy blue, ivory, green, light blue, and delicate multicolored accents. The surrounding field is densely ornamented with scrolling botanical patterns—rosettes, palmettes, and flowering tendrils—that create a dynamic yet balanced visual rhythm.
Encasing this floral field is a finely executed border in coordinating hues, echoing the central medallion’s motifs with precision and delicacy. The rich color palette and flowing design create a composition that is both luxurious and calming—ideal for adding elegance to formal or contemplative spaces.
