This region has long been one of the centres for producing various types of loom-woven textiles and handwoven rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of Iran’s most beautifully patterned village rugs have been woven in this area, most often in runner or small rug sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug is woven in the Khonchali design, also known as Khonchehyi, one of the most beautiful, authentic, and widely used designs in this region, as well as in many other rug-weaving areas of Iran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the long format of the rug, the medallion of the Khonchali design is repeated three times across the field. This repetition also evokes the idea of a threefold world. A three-part border surrounds the field, fully harmonious with it in both colour and pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of local hand-spun wool, dyed in the traditional way with local dyes, has created subtle abrash and colour highlights throughout the field, medallions, and corner motifs, giving the rug a special beauty and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe restrained colour palette and the use of negative space within the design give this rug a particular sense of calm, which can be considered one of its defining qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the notable technical features of this rug is its cotton foundation combined with wool wefts. This gives the rug the necessary structure and stability while also creating a distinctive softness and suppleness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,6,1,0,0\"\u003eAge: Mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,6,1,1,0\"\u003eOrigin: Meshkin, NW Persia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,6,1,2,0\"\u003eMaterial: Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,6,1,3,0\"\u003eDimensions: 4' 11\" x 13' 5\" (150 x 409 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,6,1,4,0\"\u003eCondition: Great, full-pile condition.

Because of its proximity to the Caucasus, the patterns and motifs of its rugs are generally rooted in Caucasian designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Meshkin runner, however, may be considered a rare example woven with Turkmen motifs. Locally, this type of rug is sometimes called tarh-e ghalat, meaning an “unconventional design” or a design that goes against the usual local tradition. In this case, that unusual choice adds an extra layer of interest and distinction to the rug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis runner is woven with local hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, with cotton warps and wefts. It is made with the symmetrical knot, a double-wefted structure, and a semi-depressed weave. This construction gives the rug both durability and good stability on different surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe field design of this runner is inspired by the Turkmen Göl Ayneh (Ayneh Gul) motif and is arranged in a repeating pattern. With a closer look, however, one can still see the colour harmony that belongs to the Meshkin weaving tradition. Unlike Turkmen rugs, where deep indigo-navy and strong red are usually dominant, this runner uses a black background, with madder red and off-white tones in the motifs. These colours give the rug a distinctive sense of depth while also confirming the presence of Meshkin’s own weaving tradition. In a way, the Meshkin weaver has localized the Turkmen design with personal skill, taste, and ingenuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe field is framed by three rows of simple borders. Through their colour harmony and avoidance of large-scale motifs, these borders are designed not to overpower the main field, allowing the viewer’s attention to remain focused on the central design of this NW Persian rug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,0,0\"\u003eAge: Mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,1,0\"\u003eOrigin: Meshkin Shahr, NW Persia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,2,0\"\u003eMaterial: Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1,8,1,3,0\"\u003eDimensions: 4' 1\" x 11' 9\" (124 x 357 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent for the age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rug the Rock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48870619054297,"sku":"126060028","price":1680.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/1460\/8857\/files\/nw-persian-meshkin-runner-rug-4-1-x-11-9-6929000.png?v=1784330833"}],"url":"https:\/\/rugtherock.com\/collections\/meshkin-rugs.oembed","provider":"Rug the Rock ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
