This antique circa 1940 Mir rug is a hand-knotted Persian carpet distinguished by an intricate all-over lattice of small hooked geometric motifs and softly faded earth tones. Its finely detailed wool pile combines taupe, camel, charcoal, muted rose, and rust in a restrained tribal pattern with exceptional visual texture. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, dining area, or bedroom.
Faded neutral tones of taupe, camel, charcoal, muted rose, rust, ivory, and sienna, with a taupe field.
Mir rugs are woven in the Saraband district of west-central Iran, and their name is virtually synonymous with the "mir" pattern — a repeating field of small, curved boteh (teardrop or paisley) motifs arranged in offset diagonal rows on a rich red ground. This endlessly adaptable all-over design, which may derive from a stylized leaf or flame form, became one of the most widely imitated in the history of rug weaving.
Antique Mir-Saraband rugs are finely woven on a cotton foundation with the asymmetric knot. Their warm palette, precise drawing, and quietly rhythmic pattern make them enduringly versatile in traditional and transitional interiors.
