This 3'4 x 4'9 Persian Gholtogh rug presents a striking geometric composition centered around a bold medallion design. Known for their structured layouts and confident color contrasts, Gholtogh rugs balance decorative richness with strong visual clarity, making them highly versatile for both traditional and modern interiors.

Design and Motifs

The rug is anchored by a powerful stepped geometric medallion that radiates outward in symmetrical form. Surrounding the central motif are repeating angular floral and geometric elements arranged in precise alignment, creating rhythm and depth across the field. The layout reflects the disciplined design language associated with Gholtogh weaving.

Border and Framing

A richly detailed border frames the rug, composed of repeating rosettes, diamond forms, and stylized floral motifs. Multiple guard borders add visual layering, enhancing contrast between the central field and the outer edges while reinforcing the rug’s balanced proportions.

Colors and Their Placement

The dominant deep red field provides warmth and intensity, contrasted by ivory sections that brighten the composition. Dark navy and cobalt blues define outlines and borders, while turquoise, burnt orange, and coral accents add energy. Subtle beige and charcoal tones ground the palette and add depth.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Hand-knotted using high-quality wool on a traditional foundation, this rug offers a dense, resilient pile with a tactile surface. The knotting is even and well-defined, allowing the geometric motifs to remain crisp and clearly articulated.
