On the Design:

One fundamental idea that our Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal has long taught to his colleagues and teammates is that the best handmade modern rugs are made after one masters the classics. One such masterpiece is this featured modern Khotan-inspired rug. Connoisseurs may admire this piece with beige-brown and an impossibly subtle hint of sage green along with warm, rich saturated red and peach tones underscore a modern adaptation of the pomegranate pattern—a geometric floral pattern illustrating pomegranate fruits and seeds, believed to signify fertility and abundance in many cultures.

Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture. Admirers of the craft may admire this textural and comfortable reimagining of the old-world charm and shabby-chic beauty inherent to such a style, yet adapted to a versatile gift size and very livable in its appeal. less
