Woven in the Azerbaijan region, this piece reflects a unique intersection of Azeri weaving tradition and narrative textile art.

At the center, a royal couple—likely Mohammad Reza Shah and Empress Farah—are framed beneath an ornate crown, surrounded by a series of portrait medallions believed to represent members of the royal family. Each figure is accompanied by inscriptions, adding to the storytelling nature of the composition.

The saturated red field, strong geometric drawing, and stylized faces give the rug a distinctive folk-art quality, making it as much a collectible artwork as a functional textile. This is a conversation piece—ideal for interiors that embrace character, history, and bold visual statements.

Hand-knotted in wool, this rug offers both durability and visual impact. Its medium scale makes it versatile for use in entryways, offices, or layered within larger spaces.

A second, matching rug is available, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare pair—perfect for symmetrical placements or a cohesive design statement.
