Red is the original colour of the Persian rug. Madder red and cochineal shaped the art of weaving for centuries. A red vintage rug brings exactly that tradition into today: broken, warm reds from brick and terracotta through rust to deep wine red, with the typical distressed finish that makes the colour soft and homely.
Hand-knotted from natural wool and usually 20 to 50 years old, our red vintage rugs are cleaned and reconditioned in our own workshop. Many keep their original red, others are over-dyed. The Persian pattern always stays visible. Every piece is one of a kind.
Red warms up a room instantly. It pairs with white, wood, grey, black and brass and is perfect for living and dining rooms where the rug is allowed to be the centrepiece. Every rug has its own video, which shows the real shade more accurately than the pictures. Free EU shipping and 30-day returns.
A vintage red is broken and muted and feels far calmer than a new red rug. Terracotta and rust tones work almost like warm neutrals.
White, grey, black, wood and brass. Blue or green as a contrast is also beautiful, just as in the classic Persian rug.
Red is warmer and stronger, pink softer and more modern. Very light, faded reds can also be found in our pink category.
