Green Persian Rugs

Green was the most expensive decision a Persian weaver could make. No single plant yields it: the wool had to be dyed twice, first in yellow from pomegranate rind or weld, then again in the indigo vat, doubling the labor and the cost of every green knot. So the old workshops spent green the way a jeweler spends emeralds, in leaves, vines and precious touches, and a rug generous with green announced serious means. Every green Persian rug on this page is hand-knotted and the only one of its kind in the world.

Where green does take the field, it rewards the buyer richly. Persian Moud rugs thread sage and bottle greens through their fine Herati tracery until the whole surface reads like foliage. Kerman rugs favor the softer register, pistachios and celadons among their refined florals, greens that behave almost like neutrals in a calm room. Today's interiors have rediscovered exactly these shades, and the practical sizes follow suit: a 7x10 Persian rug brings green to an open-plan living space, while an 8x11 Persian rug gives a dining room the garden treatment at true Persian proportions.

Green's natural partners come from its own recipe: our yellow and gold rugs carry the sunlit half of the formula for adjoining rooms, while multi-colored rugs set green among its old companions in full classical abundance. Sage, olive, emerald and mint photograph deceptively alike, so if the exact shade matters, our rug experts will compare pieces with you live on phone or chat at any hour.
