Woven in the Sirjan district—almost certainly by **Afshar tribespeople who resettled there generations ago—**this village piece feels like stepping through an adobe gateway into an orchard at dusk. A crenellated carmine‑red “gate” band frames a warm antique‑ivory ground, while a midnight‑indigo diamond medallion, edged in sky‑blue, anchors the centre. Twin saz‑style vine columns climb the field, sprouting stylised blossoms in coral, sapphire, and pistachio.

Local weavers call the layout “Se Kalleh” (Three-Head). As they explain it:

“The name of this design comes from its structure: three cross‑shaped crenellations are woven across the width of the rug.”

Those three stepped, cross‑like crenellations sit proudly at the top and bottom spandrels, acting as protective talismans and giving the piece its unmistakable silhouette.

The rug’s nomadic soul adds warmth without overwhelming. It’s distinctive artistry, architectural lines, orchard‑inspired florals, and the color palette feels both rustic and refined.

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!
