Product Description
About This Borujerd Rug
This exceptional semi antique Borujerd Persian rug at 6'11" x 4'3" showcases the masterful artistry of Lorestan province weavers from four to six decades past. The vibrant crimson field creates a striking foundation for the intricate geometric medallion design, while navy blue and madder red accents weave through diamond lattice patterns that speak to generations of nomadic weaving traditions. Each symmetrical knot was carefully placed by skilled hands, creating a textile treasure that embodies the authentic spirit of Persian craftsmanship.
The historic city of Borujerd served as a crucial waystation along ancient trade routes connecting the Persian highlands to Mesopotamian valleys. Weavers in this region developed their distinctive style by incorporating both settled town influences and nomadic tribal motifs, resulting in rugs that bridge formal geometric precision with organic tribal energy. The Toranj medallion at this rug's center represents the cosmic dome of heaven in Persian symbolism, while the surrounding diamond lattice patterns echo the protective talismans carried by traveling merchants and herders across the Zagros Mountains.
The sophisticated color palette reveals the depth of traditional Persian dyeing mastery, with crimson derived from madder root creating warm undertones that shift subtly in changing light. Navy blue grounds anchor the composition while brick red details add complexity to the geometric framework. Ivory and beige highlights bring luminous contrast to the darker elements, while strategic touches of black define the intricate border systems that frame this masterwork. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted creation elevates any interior space with its timeless elegance and authentic Persian heritage.
Perfect for defining a sophisticated living room seating area or adding warmth to a refined bedroom, this 6'11" x 4'3" foot treasure offers ideal proportions for medium-sized spaces. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this authentic piece as part of their carefully curated collection of genuine Persian textiles, each selected for exceptional quality and historical significance. The natural wool construction ensures decades of beauty while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity that has allowed this semi antique masterpiece to maintain its original vibrancy and precise geometric alignment through the years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Borujerd rug genuinely hand-knotted?
Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Lorestan, 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 Borujerd rug?
This Borujerd 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 Borujerd rug originate?
This Borujerd rug originates from Lorestan, Persia. The Lorestan 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 geometric, medallion (toranj), diamond lattice, tribal and nomadic design traditions.
What knot type was used to weave this Borujerd rug?
This Borujerd rug was woven using the symmetrical Turkish knot, also known as the Ghiordes knot. In this technique, the pile yarn is looped symmetrically around two adjacent warp threads, producing a more robust and raised pile than the asymmetrical Persian knot. This knotting technique is characteristic of some Kurdish, Caucasian, and tribal Persian weaving traditions.
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.
