Vintage Persian Boyukabad Rug

Hand knotted in Hamadan, western Persia, circa 1980
Vegetable-dyed wool on cotton foundation, 6’ 4” × 10’ 10” (194 × 330 cm)

The first thing you will notice is the field: a warm pomegranate red that glows like sun-baked clay. Framing a small lozenge medallion, sprays of cobalt and teal blossoms, sage leaves, and delicate bone-white tendrils climb upward in a loose vase-of-flowers layout, a classic Boyukabad village interpretation of the more famous Sarouk style. Around the edges the floral pattern softens into curving ivory corner spandrels, then shifts again to a midnight inky blue main border filled with rosettes and scrolling vines. Subtle abrash in the reds and blues testifies to small-batch natural dyes and forty years of gentle wear.

The pile is medium to low, giving the surface a mellow, velvety hand without hiding the crisp outlines of each motif. A firm cotton warp keeps the rug lying flat, perfect for busy rooms.

Where it works

In a living room paired with linen sofas and antique wood.
Beneath a dining table where the forgiving palette hides the occasional spill.
At the foot of a king bed, adding color and pattern without overwhelming the space.

Professionally washed and in great vintage condition, this Boyukabad brings the easy elegance of central Persian florals together with the durability Hamadan rugs are known for.

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!
