Hailing from Meshgin Shahr in East Azerbaijan Province, this runner reflects the region’s affinity for tribal‑inspired geometry fused with bold, earthy hues. The central axis features elongated hexagons or lozenge medallions in brick red, indigo, and mocha brown, punctuated by beige highlights that trace each shape with crisp clarity. Narrow side borders bristle with small latch hooks and flowering vines, giving a rhythmic frame to the composition.

Though it has a slimmer 7 mm pile, the rug remains durable enough for high‑traffic walkways, kitchens, or that long corridor you’ve been hoping to dress up. Vegetable‑dyed wools lend a nuanced depth to the color transitions, ensuring that with every step, you’ll notice something new in its shifting interplay of tone. It’s a striking way to add a dash of classic Persian heritage to modern or traditional interiors alike.

Please Consider

Our rugs are truly unique and crafted with care. Their vintage and handmade nature means they may have imperfections and signs of wear, which add character. Each rug is handmade, so it may not be a perfect rectangle.

We strive to capture the rugs’ true colors in daylight photography, but they might appear slightly different in low-light environments or on different screen settings.

We’re happy to provide photos taken in different lighting or answer any questions.

Feel free to reach out if you need more information or assistance.

Sustainability

For every rug you purchase, we plant one tree.

Choosing vintage and antique rugs reduces waste, lowers the demand for new materials, and extends product lifespan—reducing your carbon footprint. Our rugs are crafted from natural and recyclable materials, promoting sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Care Instructions

Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming keeps your rug looking its best and extends its lifespan, reducing the need for professional cleaning. For best results, vacuum both the front and back sides of the rug from side to side, avoiding the fringes.

Spills

If spills occur, blot them immediately with a cloth. Then spray water on the spot and blot again, repeating as needed. For pet urine, spray white vinegar to help break down the enzymes that cause odor.

Professional Rug Cleaning

It’s generally recommended to have your rug professionally cleaned every five years, but trust your instincts—if it appears to need cleaning, don’t hesitate to have it washed. Hand-knotted carpets should never be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning companies are usually not a good option. Always choose a professional rug cleaner who specializes in cleaning fine, handwoven carpets. If you’re in the GTA, we can provide professional rug cleaning for you!
