Important Antique Royal Tehran 23074

This exceptional Antique Royal Tehran (9'2" x 13') represents the height of Persian city weaving—refined, intricate, and unmistakably elegant. Woven in Tehran workshops in the late 19th to early 20th century, these carpets are celebrated for their precision drawing and court-inspired compositions .

The design is centered around a finely detailed oval medallion, rendered in deep navy and ivory, radiating outward into an elaborate field of scrolling vines, palmettes, and floral arabesques. The ivory ground provides a luminous backdrop, allowing the delicate sky blues, soft golds, and muted reds to unfold with remarkable clarity and balance.

One of the defining features is the rich red border, densely ornamented with classical Persian motifs, creating a strong architectural frame around the intricate interior. The contrast between the airy field and the saturated border gives the rug both visual structure and depth.

Tehran rugs are known for their workshop-level craftsmanship and fine knotting, often blending wool foundations with silk highlights in higher-grade examples . This piece reflects that legacy—its drawing is crisp yet fluid, with an almost miniature-like precision.

At 9'2" x 13', this is a true statement piece—ideal for grand living rooms, formal dining spaces, or layered into a refined, editorial interior. It carries a sense of quiet luxury and historical depth, perfectly aligned with collectors and high-end design environments.
