Woven by Qashqai villagers this rug is a textbook example of the tribe’s love for crisp geometry and luminous vegetable dyes. Two serrated diamond medallions link together on a midnight‑indigo field alive with stylised blossoms and angular vinery. Because every strand was dyed with plants, roots, and minerals, the palette has mellowed into an effortless harmony of inky blue, teal green, coral‑terracotta, pomegranate red, and warm bone‑ivory.

Light, honest wear has taken just a whisper off the surface, lending the piece a velvety patina without compromising its structure. Roll it out in a reading nook, let it brighten a home office, or layer it in front of a loveseat where its jewel‑tones can sparkle. Thanks to its all‑wool foundation, the rug is pliable enough to drape over a table or even hang as wall art if floor space is scarce.

it’s a portable slice of Yalameh heritage—compact, colourful, and ready to add character to whichever corner of your home needs a story.

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!
