Vintage Storybook Kilimette 3’5 x 5’6 circa 1940-1950

This striking mid-century Northwest Persian rug carries the bold, architectural symmetry and tribal geometry beloved in Heriz-region weaving traditions. A vivid coral-red field anchors a beautifully structured vertical floral and botanical lattice, flanked by stylized blossoms, protective tribal symbols, and small architectural medallions that create rhythm and balance across the composition.

The saturated palette blends warm persimmon and rose tones with deep indigo, walnut brown, and soft sand accents. Subtle tonal variation throughout the field reflects natural dye absorption and decades of organic aging, giving the rug dimension and visual movement that cannot be replicated in modern production.

Handwoven using traditional techniques, this piece embodies the durability and artistic storytelling that Northwest Persian rugs are known for. The strong border framing and structured botanical motifs make this rug especially versatile — equally compelling as a statement accent or layered into a collected, heirloom-driven interior.

With its intact structure, vibrant coloration, and beautifully preserved tribal symbolism, this rug presents as both a functional textile and a collectible decorative work.
