Celeste Rugs 7'3"x10'7" Hand Knotted Wool Burgundy Charcoal Meimeh Diamond Diamond Plush Pile Medallion Tribal Village rug Area Rug

This Persian Meimeh rug from Iran beautifully represents the geometric lattice tradition associated with village weaving from the Meimeh district of Isfahan province. The deep burgundy field is organized into repeating diamond compartments filled with stylized tree-of-life motifs, tribal symbols, floral accents, and abstract geometric forms in shades of navy, ivory, teal, charcoal, and sage green. A stepped geometric medallion anchors the center while remaining seamlessly integrated into the surrounding lattice pattern, preserving the strong angular structure characteristic of Meimeh weaving. Decorative navy borders with tribal geometric motifs and chain-style guard stripes frame the composition and add additional architectural definition. Hand knotted from dense wool with a plush pile, the rug offers remarkable durability, rich texture, and crisp pattern clarity. Vegetable dyes enhance the warmth of the burgundy field and the cool depth of the charcoal and navy accents, giving the rug timeless Persian tribal sophistication and handcrafted authenticity.

Story Behind the Art: Meimeh rugs come from the village of Meimeh in Isfahan province in central Iran, a region deeply connected to Persian tribal and village weaving traditions. These rugs are especially recognized for their repeating diamond lattice layouts that cover the entire field, with each compartment filled by stylized floral motifs, tree-of-life forms, birds, tribal symbols, and angular geometric details that create richly textured compositions full of visual rhythm. A stepped geometric medallion is often positioned at the center while remaining seamlessly integrated into the surrounding lattice design, preserving the rug’s strong geometric continuity. Deep burgundy and red grounds combined with navy, ivory, teal, and sage accents create the warm decorative palette associated with vintage Meimeh weaving. Hand knotted using dense wool pile on cotton foundations, these rugs are admired for their durability, plush texture, and exceptional depth of color achieved through traditional vegetable dyes.
