In a world increasingly dominated by mass production and synthetic materials, the Antique Washed Persian Rug stands as a graceful revival of traditional craft. The Antique Washed Persian Rug is more than just a reimagining, it is a second life, drawn from the bones of a once-proud Northwest Persian weaving.
The term “antique wash” refers to the gentle transformation of a worn or tired rug through washing and sun-bleaching processes. This method brings lightness to the palette, softens any harshness, and calms the pattern into a subdued harmony. What emerges is an elegant and relaxed rug with a sophisticated, understated charm.

In a world increasingly dominated by mass production and synthetic materials, the Antique Washed Persian Rug stands as a graceful revival of traditional craft. Offered through The Rug Shop, the Antique Washed Persian Rug is more than just a reimagining—it is a second life, drawn from the bones of a once-proud Northwest Persian weaving.
The term “antique wash” refers to the gentle transformation of a worn or tired rug through washing and sun-bleaching processes. This method brings lightness to the palette, softens any harshness, and calms the pattern into a subdued harmony. What emerges is an elegant and relaxed rug with a sophisticated, understated charm.
Antique Persian rugs, often overworked or faded in parts after decades of use, risk being discarded. The antique wash process offers a sustainable solution. It is a respectful act—an artisan’s way of coaxing beauty out of what time has dulled. The result is a rug that retains its hand-knotted structure, its rich wool fibres, and most importantly, its soul.
Each Antique Washed Persian Rug retains the heart of the original weave. The designs still whisper of the mountains and highlands of Northwest Persia—Heriz, Tabriz, and Hamadan—but they now speak in a softer, dreamlike voice.
As design preferences lean toward calm interiors and neutral tones, the Antique Washed Persian Rug meets this desire with grace. Gone are the bold contrasts of traditional reds and blues. In their place are mellow sand, faded rose, misty indigo, and soft sage. These quiet tones offer flexibility in modern spaces while holding fast to a timeless visual language.
Repurposing an old Persian carpet rather than discarding it honours both the labour and the landscape from which it came. It is an act of textile conservation. Nothing is wasted. The wool is reused, the knotting preserved, the dyes mellowed rather than lost.
It is authentic. It is enduring. And it is an honest answer to the question: How can we continue to value beauty, even as it changes?
Can I get the same rug in a different size?
Each of our rugs is an individual, hand made work of art because of that it is not possible for us to have duplicates in different sizes.
How are your rugs made?
All of our rugs are 100% Handmade on a loom. We have created a close relationship with all of the craftspeople who make our rugs which allows us to get the highest quality rugs directly from the people who made them.
