Meymeh rugs come from the small town of Meymeh, about 100 km north of Isfahan in central Iran. Part of the historic Josheghan weaving trio, they are knotted on cotton foundations with wool pile dyed using natural plant colours. Meymeh pieces occupy the fine quality tier within this group, with a Safavid-era weaving heritage dating back to the 16th century.
The distinctive hexagonal medallion designs combine floral and geometric elements in an unusual harmony, a pairing rarely seen in other Persian rug types. Rich burgundy red dominates, complemented by blue, green, and ivory. The drawing appears rustic at first glance but reveals surprising precision.
Measuring 317 × 214 cm, with an area of 6.78 m², crafted from Hand-spun Wool, Hand-knotted, this piece is a testament to masterful craftsmanship. The knot density of 321,000 – 380,000 / m² speaks to the extraordinary care woven into every inch.
Preserved in perfect condition, safavid heritage with a distinctive blend of floral and geometric, warm character with excellent everyday quality.
Superior craftsmanship
At 317 × 214 cm (6.78 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
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 6.78 m² that is roughly 2.2 to 2.6 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.
