Red & Burgundy Persian Rugs

Ask anyone to picture a Persian rug and they will picture this page. The reds that made Persian weaving famous come from madder root, a dye plant cultivated alongside the weaving towns for centuries, and its range is remarkable: brick and terracotta when the wool is dipped briefly, deep wine and burgundy when it steeps for days. Unlike synthetic color, madder mellows rather than fades, which is why century-old red rugs remain the most beloved pieces in the trade. Every rug here is hand-knotted and the only one of its kind.

Two weaving cities built their reputations on this palette. Persian Kashan rugs set the archetype: a commanding medallion on a crimson field, edged in navy, the image four centuries of buyers have recognized as simply "a Persian rug." Mashad rugs pour the same tradition into room sizes, burgundy fields in Khorasan wool with a softness underfoot that surprises first-time owners.

Red anchors a room, so build around it with confidence: our navy and blue rugs are red's classical partner if you are furnishing adjoining rooms, while orange and rust rugs carry the warm end of the madder spectrum into more casual spaces. Undecided between a brick red and a true burgundy? Our rug experts will pull pieces and compare them with you on phone or chat, any hour, and free shipping with free returns in all 50 states and Canada lets the winner prove itself on your floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between red, burgundy and maroon rugs?

Red is the bright, brick or cherry end of the scale. Burgundy is a deeper wine red with a hint of purple, and maroon leans toward brown. In Persian rugs all three usually come from the same dye plant, madder root: a short dye bath gives brighter reds, a long one gives burgundy and wine tones.

Does a red Persian rug work with modern furniture?

Yes. A red rug often becomes the anchor of an otherwise neutral room with white walls, gray sofas or light wood. Rugs that combine red with ivory or navy are the easiest to pair, because those accent colors pick up the rest of the room.

Will a red Persian rug fade?

Natural madder mellows slowly over decades instead of fading harshly, which is why antique red rugs are so sought after. Keep any rug out of strong direct sun where possible and turn it once a year so it ages evenly.

Do you have red and blue Persian rugs?

Many rugs here pair a red field with a navy medallion or border, the classic Persian combination. You can also browse our navy blue Persian rugs.
