Zanjan, 80 Years Old, 170×115 cm

Captivating all-over geometric lattice with interlocking “boteh” paisleys, palmette sprays, and star medallions across a midnight navy field; vivid accents in fiery madder red, antique gold, turquoise, sage green, and crisp ivory; richly detailed reciprocal borders

versatile proportions that look perfect in hallways, entryways, or beside beds while still delivering a strong decorative presence. Crafted with a premium natural wool pile on a sturdy cotton warp and weft, it reflects the dense knotting and solid construction Zanjan rugs are known for—resulting in exceptional durability, an elegant drape, and long-lasting comfort underfoot.

Visually, the rug is a captivating celebration of all-over geometric lattice with interlocking boteh/paisley accents, graceful palmette sprays, and star medallions distributed across a deep midnight navy field. The palette is vivid yet harmonious, bringing warmth and character through rich madder red, antique gold, accents of turquoise, notes of sage green, and crisp ivory that define the pattern and make it look beautifully crisp from near and far. Framing the design are reciprocal, richly detailed borders that complete the rug with a traditional, collector-worthy finish.

In excellent vintage condition, it shows a beautiful aged patina with unfaded vegetable-dyed colors and only minimal wear, offering the rare feeling of a piece that has been preserved with care. If you’re looking for a museum-quality, authentic antique Zanjan runner, this one is truly ready to be cherished.
