Antique Persian Pictorial Handmade Carpet – Iran

Bold colors including deep red, ivory, blue, green, and earthy tones enhance the lively composition while preserving the authentic character of antique tribal craftsmanship.

Handwoven using traditional techniques, this carpet showcases the individuality and artistic freedom typical of vintage Iranian village and tribal rugs. Its pictorial design makes it not only a functional textile but also a decorative artwork ideal for collectors, wall display, or statement interiors.

A rare and character-filled antique piece, this carpet embodies cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless Persian artistic expression.
