This is a village rug from Beghardeh, in the weaving country of western Iran, measuring 195 x 135 cm (6'5" x 4'5"). Beghardeh pieces are known for an honest, hand-made character — simple patterns worked for daily use rather than for export — yet this one carries a medallion sharp enough to belong in a city workshop.
A deep brick red fills the field, broken at its centre by a serrated star medallion outlined in crisp ivory zigzag teeth against a dark navy ground — a starburst rather than the softer floral medallion this pattern usually gives. Navy-black spandrels fill the corners, dense with small floral and geometric devices in teal, dusty blue and rust. A wide ivory border, carrying a red-and-green serrated vine, runs around the whole field, closing it in without dimming the red.
The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, hand-knotted at a density of 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre — a fine count for a design drawn freehand rather than from a workshop cartoon. That density is what lets the medallion's zigzag edge come out so crisp, close enough to turn each corner cleanly rather than blur it. Hand-spun wool, slightly uneven in thickness, keeps the surface matte rather than glossy, so the star reads as drawn, not printed.
A rug this size suits a study or a quiet seating corner — beside a desk, under a pair of armchairs. The red holds its own against dark wood and warms a pale floor too. Underfoot the pile is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than show. In evening light the ivory zigzag catches first, the star flaring before the field settles into red.

Superior craftsmanship
At 195 × 135 cm (2.63 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 321,000 to 380,000 knots per square metre; across 2.63 m² that is roughly 0.8 to 1.0 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
