Persian Rug 237 x 170 cm Hand-knotted

Persian Rug

Material and Craftsmanship

This patchwork rug is made from old hand-knotted Persian rugs that have been brought together to form a new composition. Several previously crafted rugs therefore remain present in the material and construction of the piece. The individual sections are artistically combined, creating a unified surface with its own character. Reusing old rugs is central to this form of production and is an important part of the rug’s identity.

The rug is hand-knotted. Each knot is carefully placed, and the high knot density described for the rug represents a robust and hard-wearing construction. Hand-knotting is carried out by experienced craftspeople and belongs to a long-established tradition of textile workmanship. In a patchwork rug, this knotting tradition is joined by the additional task of selecting and assembling pieces from older rugs.

Natural materials are specified for the rug. The colours used are also described as natural in origin and environmentally friendly. The combination of existing hand-knotted rugs with naturally based colours gives the piece a material character centred on reuse and natural colour. Its surface is described as pleasant in use. At the same time, the hand-knotted construction and high knot density are associated with durability and resistance to everyday wear.

Origin and Tradition

This rug comes from Iran and belongs to the tradition of Persian rugs. Persian carpet weaving reaches back many centuries. Across that history, rugs have served not only practical purposes but also as textile forms in which craftsmanship, colour and pattern work together. A rug can carry its own story through the way its surface is made and through the traditions reflected in its design.

Iranian rugs are produced with a wide range of techniques and designs. The source names Isfahan, Tabriz and Kerman as provinces with distinct approaches to weaving and design. These place names illustrate the variety within Persian carpet culture; they do not provide an additional origin for this particular patchwork rug. Taken together, such regional traditions represent a broad spectrum of knotting methods, colour arrangements and pattern structures.

Persian rugs are known for fine knotting, vivid colours and complex patterns. Their designs may carry symbolic meanings and may refer to stories from Persian mythology and culture. This kind of textile language develops through the relationship between repeated forms, colour fields and careful workmanship. In a patchwork rug, the inherited tradition is joined by the reuse of completed or older rugs. Existing pieces are retained and given a new role within a different composition.

The patchwork method therefore brings together two aspects of tradition. The work of the original weavers remains visible in the older sections. At the same time, arranging those sections creates a contemporary form. The result is not described as one newly knotted design created from a single pattern, but as a surface developed by combining several existing Persian rugs. The craft history of those source pieces remains part of the finished design.

Design and Pattern

Geometric forms define the pattern of this rug. Their clear, structured character gives the surface an identifiable order and adds a modern note. At the same time, the design remains connected to traditional carpet making because forms, colours and textures continue to operate together as a textile composition. Its contemporary appearance comes from the new arrangement of traditional material rather than from abandoning the older craft.

The natural colours provide a calm and enduring element within the design. Together with the geometric forms, they create a composition described as harmonious. Different colours and textures from the old rug sections can appear alongside one another while still being joined into one overall surface. This relationship between varied pieces and a common arrangement is what makes the patchwork construction visually apparent.

Geometric patterns in Persian carpet culture can include cultural symbols and narrative references. The source describes such patterns as potentially carrying inspiring stories and reflecting the heritage of the region. For this rug, however, the stated design information is limited to geometric forms, natural colours and a composition assembled from old rugs. No particular additional symbol or named motif is specified.

The rug can be used in both classic and modern interiors. Its connection with classic design comes from Persian carpet tradition, hand-knotting and the use of older rugs. Its modern aspect lies in the patchwork arrangement, the geometric forms and the combination of different colours and textures. This allows the design to stand independently without assigning it to only one furnishing style.

Special Features

The defining feature is the patchwork construction. Old hand-knotted Persian rugs have been artistically combined and made into one individual rug. Each piece is therefore unique. The source rugs contribute their own craft history to the new arrangement, while the composition creates a distinct form and character.

Reusing the older rugs preserves not only material but also the workmanship of earlier generations. Every carefully placed knot belongs to a construction associated with quality, strength and long use. The rug is consequently described as both a decorative furnishing element and a possible heirloom that may be passed from one generation to the next. Its condition is stated as good.
