Najaf Rugs

The nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes of Iran's Fars Province have been weaving like this for generations. No pattern books. No factory floors. Just wool from their own mountain-grazed sheep, a loom, and a design held entirely in memory.

Bold geometric medallions, stylised animals, botanical symbols, each one a tribal signature interpreted differently by every weaver who has ever worked the pattern.

These rugs are hand-knotted from 100% hand-spun wool on a wool foundation giving them a warm and flexible construction.

⭐️ On the spotlight

This rug comes from Kerman, a city that has been weaving since the 15th century and remains one of the most celebrated weaving centres in all of Persia.

While many Kerman rugs feature a central medallion, the all-over diamond lattice is a prestigious variation, each compartment representing a garden in bloom 🌷

Look closely and every diamond holds its own hand-knotted floral composition, a level of detail that is only possible through an exceptionally high knot count. This is the work of a professional city weaver, the kind who might spend years on a single piece before it ever left the loom.

Hand-spun wool pile on a cotton foundation. Low, flat, and built to keep every detail visible for decades.

Vintage, circa 1960 to 1980.
