Zarina

A wonderfully graphic handwoven vintage Pakistani rug featuring a repeated star motif arranged in a structured grid across a soft lavender field. Woven in the 1960s, this piece balances bold geometry with an unexpected palette of dusty lilac, aubergine, terracotta, deep indigo and warm ivory, creating a rug that feels both playful and sophisticated. Unlike more ornate floral Persian designs, this rug embraces repetition and symmetry, with its star-like medallions creating an almost modernist composition. The crisp ivory border and patterned outer guard frame the design beautifully, while the subtle tonal variation across the field adds depth, texture and the kind of patina only decades of age can create. Handwoven in Pakistan from wool, this piece reflects the enduring craftsmanship of traditional village weaving, where strong geometric forms and rich natural dyes were woven to withstand generations of everyday life. The result is a rug with incredible character and a quietly contemporary aesthetic that works effortlessly in both minimalist and eclectic interiors. Its unusual colour palette makes it particularly special, bringing warmth without heaviness and acting as a perfect statement piece in bedrooms, reading corners or smaller living spaces. Whether paired with chrome, dark woods or soft neutral furnishings, it instantly adds personality and texture. Handwoven from wool with a beautifully soft medium pile and natural age-related wear that only enhances its charm. Durable, timeless and impossible to replicate. In excellent vintage condition, with wear consistent with age. No holes or tears. Professionally cleaned and ready for its next home.
