Square Medallion (Rust/Indigo) — Hand-Knotted Wool Rug | 3′03″ × 3′03″

A square medallion rug that distills classical Persian geometry into compact, gallery-worthy form—bold color, precise symmetry, and artisan integrity.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan by artisans trained in traditional medallion weaving, this 3′03″ × 3′03″ piece honors the disciplined geometry and vibrant palette of Persian court traditions. The square format—less common than rectangular medallion rugs—requires careful pattern adaptation to maintain visual balance. Woven on a vertical loom with meticulous attention to symmetry and color distribution, each knot contributes to a composition of remarkable density and clarity.

Materials & Construction
Crafted from hand-spun Ghazni wool colored with natural vegetable dyes, the rug features a striking palette of rust and indigo accented by ivory, charcoal, and terracotta. Ghazni wool—celebrated for its superior softness, resilience, and ability to absorb and hold vibrant dyes—creates a dense pile with exceptional tactile depth. The fine knotting ensures crisp motif definition, while the wool's natural lanolin content provides a subtle luster that enhances the rich color work.

Design & Aesthetic
The central medallion radiates outward with geometric precision, balanced by corner spandrels that anchor the composition. The compact square format makes this piece ideal for intimate spaces—entryways, powder rooms, beneath console tables, or as a layering element in larger rooms. The bold rust and indigo palette pairs beautifully with neutral furnishings, concrete, plaster, and natural wood, adding warmth and visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 3′03″ × 3′03″ (approximately 10.5 square feet). Ideal for accent placement or layering. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
