Antique Yazd Persian Rug - Detailed Description
This exquisite antique Yazd Persian rug is a fine example of traditional Persian craftsmanship, originating from Yazd, Iran—a city known for its high-quality, hand-knotted rugs that closely resemble Kashan and Isfahan designs. Yazd rugs are distinguished by their intricate floral motifs, rich color palettes, and luxurious wool, making them highly sought-after by collectors and interior designers.
Design & Patterns
- The rug features a dense, symmetrical floral design, filled with intricate vines, blossoms, and arabesque patterns that are characteristic of Yazd rugs.
- The deep navy or black background serves as a stunning contrast to the vibrant floral details in reds, blues, golds, and greens.
- The multi-layered border showcases detailed floral and geometric motifs, enhancing the sense of depth and refinement.
- Unlike central medallion rugs, this Yazd rug follows an all-over floral pattern, making it an excellent piece for both traditional and modern interiors.
Material & Craftsmanship
-
Hand-knotted with high-quality wool, known for its durability, softness, and natural sheen.
- Yazd rugs typically have a tight knot structure, often using the Persian (asymmetrical) knot, which contributes to their intricate details and high knot density.
- The wool used in Yazd rugs is often hand-dyed with natural vegetable dyes, giving the colors a rich, organic vibrancy that ages beautifully over time.
