Burgundy, Charcoal 7'3"x10'7" Meimeh Geometric Traditional Diamond Plush Pile Medallion Tribal Village Vegetable Dyes Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

In outstanding vintage condition and professionally prepared for immediate use, this hand knotted wool Persian Meimeh rug from Iran features the classic geometric lattice composition traditionally associated with village weaving from the Meimeh district of Isfahan province. The deep burgundy red field is organized into a repeating diagonal network of small diamond compartments rendered in navy and ivory, each one filled with stylized tree-of-life forms, tribal motifs, floral heads, and abstract geometric figures in charcoal, sage, teal, and ivory tones. Anchoring the center is a stepped geometric medallion built from concentric diamond layers in navy and ivory surrounding a small floral rosette core, fully integrated into the surrounding lattice structure rather than separated from it. The navy border carries repeating upright geometric motifs and tribal filler elements in ivory and red framed by narrow chain-style guard stripes that reinforce the rug’s strong architectural layout. Side borders filled with rectangular cartouche motifs add additional vertical balance and structure to the overall composition. Hand knotted with a dense full wool pile, the rug displays exceptional color richness and sharp geometric detail enhanced by vegetable dyes that give the burgundy field warmth and the charcoal tones remarkable depth. Durable, highly decorative, and rich in Persian tribal character, this Meimeh rug combines village artistry with timeless geometric sophistication.

Story Behind the Art: Meimeh rugs come from the village of Meimeh in Isfahan province in central Iran, a weaving region closely connected to the broader artistic traditions of Isfahan craftsmanship. These rugs are especially recognized for their intricate repeating diamond lattice patterns that cover the entire field, with each compartment containing stylized floral heads, tree-of-life motifs, birds, or abstract tribal forms that create dense decorative texture and visual movement. Many Meimeh rugs also feature a central stepped geometric medallion that integrates harmoniously into the surrounding lattice rather than dominating the composition. Their warm palettes of deep red, burgundy, navy, ivory, teal, and sage green create a rich inviting appearance enhanced by the depth of naturally dyed wool. Hand knotted using wool on cotton foundations with a full plush pile, Meimeh rugs combine tribal authenticity with refined Persian artistry and have become increasingly admired for their decorative warmth and collectible character.
