Product Description
About This Sirjan Rug
This magnificent semi antique Sirjan Persian rug measuring 10'12" x 6'7" showcases the masterful weaving traditions of Kerman province, where artisans have perfected the delicate balance of medallion motifs and geometric patterns for generations. The sophisticated navy blue field provides a rich canvas for the intricate toranj centerpiece, surrounded by complementary borders that frame this exceptional piece with timeless elegance.
The historic city of Ó?ÑÌÇä (Sirjan) has been renowned throughout Persia for producing rugs that combine tribal nomadic influences with refined urban aesthetics, creating pieces that bridge the gap between rustic charm and sophisticated design. This particular weaving demonstrates the region's expertise in asymmetrical Persian knotting techniques, resulting in a dense, luxurious pile that has gracefully aged over four decades while maintaining its structural integrity and vibrant character.
The carefully orchestrated color palette features deep navy blue harmonizing with warm madder red, pristine ivory, and rich burgundy accents, while subtle touches of Persian blue, rust red, black, cream, pink, and gold create depth and visual interest throughout the medallion and geometric patterns. Each hue carries symbolic meaning in Persian culture, with the dominant navy representing wisdom and stability, while the madder red signifies prosperity and protection for the household.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its perfect proportions, making it ideal for dining rooms, formal living areas, or as a stunning foundation beneath a seating arrangement where its 10'12" x 6'7" dimensions provide ample coverage without overwhelming the room. The semi antique patina adds character and authenticity that cannot be replicated in contemporary reproductions, while the tribal and nomadic design elements speak to centuries of Persian weaving heritage.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional Sirjan creation, where the marriage of traditional craftsmanship and timeless design ensures this Persian treasure will continue to enchant for generations, serving as both a functional floor covering and a work of art that celebrates the enduring legacy of Persian rug weaving from the Kerman region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Sirjan rug genuinely hand-knotted?
Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Kerman, Persia. It is not machine-made, hand-tufted, or hand-hooked. The knot structure is clearly visible on the reverse side of the rug, confirming its authentic hand-knotted construction.
What does the age classification mean for this Sirjan rug?
This Sirjan rug is classified as antique, meaning it is 100 years old or more. By international convention and U.S. Customs standards, a rug must be at least 100 years old to qualify as antique. Antique Persian rugs are the most prized category among collectors, valued for their historical significance, natural dye patina, aged wool softness, rarity, and the way their colors have mellowed and deepened beautifully over a century or more of careful use.
Where does the Sirjan rug originate?
This Sirjan rug originates from Kerman, Persia. The Kerman region has a long and distinguished history of rug weaving, with local artisans developing their own distinctive design vocabulary, color traditions, and technical approaches that set their rugs apart from other Persian weaving centers. The village rug category from this region is particularly known for its medallion (toranj), geometric, tribal and nomadic design traditions.
What knot type was used to weave this Sirjan rug?
This Sirjan rug was woven using both the asymmetrical Persian (Senneh) knot and the symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knot. The asymmetrical Persian knot, which wraps around one warp thread, allows for finer curvilinear design detail. The symmetrical Turkish knot, which wraps around two warp threads, produces a more robust pile. The use of both techniques reflects the weaver's mastery and adaptability within the regional weaving tradition.
Is this rug one of a kind?
Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. As an authentic hand-knotted Persian rug, no two examples are identical. Only one of this exact rug is available in our collection. Once sold, this specific piece cannot be reordered or replicated. Every hand-knotted Persian rug is a unique artifact of its weaver's skill, materials, and creative expression.
Does this rug come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. Every rug purchased from Los Angeles Home of Rugs includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the rug's origin, age, materials, construction method, and appraised value. This certificate is accepted by major U.S. insurance providers and supports resale, estate, and auction documentation.
How do I care for this wool rug?
Vacuum gently without a beater bar once a week in the direction of the pile. Rotate the rug every 6 to 12 months to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth without rubbing. For deep cleaning, use a professional Persian rug cleaning specialist who uses hand-washing methods appropriate for natural wool fibers and aged dyes. Avoid steam cleaning or harsh chemical treatments.
