Savojbalagh, 90 Years Old, 200 x 130

Design & Motifs: The layout is a classic all-over repeat pattern featuring a delicate, geometric floral lattice. The field is composed of a repeating, interlocking grid of stylized flower heads and rosettes arranged in orderly rows. Each floral motif is flanked by angular, zigzagging vines and geometric leaf shapes in coral, teal, and cream against the deep indigo ground. The pattern is rhythmic, dense, and visually cohesive, creating a sense of infinite depth. The rug is framed by a wide, teal-blue main border featuring a repeating, meandering “vine and blossom” pattern with stylized floral rosettes in red, cream, and gold. Multiple narrow guard stripes in cream, red, and blue with smaller, repeating geometric chain patterns separate the main border from the field. The corner spandrels are filled with smaller, mirrored floral motifs that anchor the design.

Condition & Quality: At 90 years old, this Savojbalagh rug is in excellent vintage condition. The wool pile is medium-low but remarkably even and intact, with a soft, velvety sheen that only develops over decades of use. There are no significant bald spots, holes, or structural damage. The fringes are original and secure, showing minor, natural wear consistent with age. The weave is tight and fine, typical of the high-quality village weaving of the Savojbalagh region. The rug has a substantial, solid feel that makes it perfect for daily use while remaining a piece of history.
