Pink & Purple Persian Rugs

The pinks and purples of Persian weaving were once its imported luxuries. Cochineal, the crimson dye that shades into rose, fuchsia and plum, traveled farther than any other color in the dye house and often cost more than the wool it tinted, so a rug wearing these shades wore its worth openly. Time added its own artistry: rose fields mellow over decades into the dusty blush that decorators now hunt for. Every pink and purple Persian rug on this page is hand-knotted and the only one of its kind anywhere.

One name rules this palette. The rose field of the Persian Sarough rug is among the most recognized images in the trade, a pink that reads as warmth rather than sweetness, carried on famously dense wool pile. At the finer end, Qum rugs spin lavender, orchid and rose through pure silk, where the fiber's sheen gives the shades a lit-from-within quality. A 10x14 Persian rug lets a rose field gather a formal living room, while a 4x6 Persian rug makes a bedroom, dressing room or nursery quietly romantic.

These shades are gentler in person than in photographs, closer to antique furniture than to candy, and their neighbors prove the range: our peach rugs hold the softest edge of the spectrum, while red and burgundy rugs show where the same cochineal and madder pots lead at full strength. If you are testing pink against a skeptical household, send our rug experts the room photo on chat, any hour, and let them make the case with actual pieces. Free shipping and free returns in all 50 states and Canada mean the romance carries no commitment until you are sure.
