Antique Tehran Classic,
This Antique Tehran rug, dating to the late 19th century, is a rare Persian hand-knotted carpet with an elegant pictorial garden design and a soft, beautifully aged color palette. The blue field creates a calm and refined foundation, while the ivory, navy, rose, beige, brown, and muted accent tones bring depth, delicacy, and antique character. The field is filled with graceful trees, birds, animals, floral branches, and decorative Persian motifs, giving the rug the feeling of a woven paradise garden.
The design has a highly artistic and collectible quality. Unlike many formal medallion rugs, this piece tells a visual story through nature-inspired imagery. The birds, trees, animals, and flowers symbolize beauty, life, harmony, abundance, and the ideal garden in Persian art. The dark border frames the composition with elegant floral and animal motifs, adding structure and contrast while keeping the focus on the detailed central scene.
Tehran rugs from the late 19th century are admired for their refined craftsmanship, fine drawing, and strong connection to Persian courtly taste. During this period, Tehran was an important cultural and artistic center, and rugs woven there often reflected sophisticated designs influenced by classical Persian art, garden imagery, and urban workshop weaving. Antique Tehran carpets are less common than rugs from cities such as Tabriz, Kashan, or Isfahan, which makes fine examples especially desirable for collectors.
Hand-knotted from wool, this rug carries the warmth, durability, and character of true antique Persian weaving. More than simply a floor covering, this late 19th-century Antique Tehran rug is a piece of Persian history and artistry, bringing elegance, storytelling, and timeless cultural beauty into the home.

Commission Your Own
This piece is one of a kind — but the artisans who wove it can create a new rug in its spirit, hand-knotted to your exact dimensions.
Every hand-knotted rug begins with a single knot.
Skilled artisans tie each knot entirely by hand, one at a time, using techniques that
have been passed down through generations. Depending on the size and intricacy of
the design, a room-sized rug may contain millions of individually tied knots.
For a single weaver, completing one masterpiece can take one to two years—or even
longer—making every rug a remarkable work of art, craftsmanship, and patience.
