About This Quchan Rug
This magnificent semi antique Quchan Persian rug, measuring 9'3" x 4'10", presents an extraordinary display of geometric artistry woven with traditional Turkmen Gul motifs that have adorned the steppes of northeastern Persia for centuries. The commanding presence of deep burgundy and rich navy blue creates a sophisticated foundation, while brilliant red accents and warm gold highlights bring dynamic energy to the traditional geometric patterns that speak to generations of nomadic heritage.
Quchan, nestled in the historic Khorasan province of Persia, has long been celebrated as a crossroads where Persian refinement meets Turkmen tribal traditions, creating rugs of exceptional character and enduring beauty. This semi antique masterpiece, aged 40-60 years, carries the authentic patina that only time can bestow, with its geometric Turkmen Gul medallions representing the eternal cycle of life and prosperity in nomadic culture. The symmetrical knotting technique employed by Quchan weavers ensures remarkable durability while maintaining the precise geometric integrity that defines these coveted textiles.
The captivating color palette transitions seamlessly from burgundy depths to navy blue foundations, punctuated by vibrant orange accents and forest green details that create visual movement across the geometric field. Ivory highlights provide brilliant contrast against the darker tones, while golden threads catch light to illuminate the intricate Turkmen Gul patterns that cascade across the rug's surface. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its authentic Persian character and timeless geometric sophistication.
Perfect for hallways, entryways, or as a stunning accent in living spaces, this 9'3" x 4'10" foot dimensions make it ideal for creating dramatic focal points without overwhelming smaller rooms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Quchan rug genuinely hand-knotted?
Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Khorasan, 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 Quchan rug?
This Quchan 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 Quchan rug originate?
This Quchan rug originates from Khorasan, Persia. The Khorasan 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 city rug category from this region is particularly known for its geometric, turkmen gul design traditions.
What knot type was used to weave this Quchan rug?
This Quchan 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.
