1950s Vintage Persian Veece Carpet with Hexagonal Medallion

Hand-Knotted Vintage Persian Rug in Dusty Blue and Rose Tones

The 1950s Vintage Persian Veece Carpet with Hexagonal Medallion Design embodies an exquisite fusion of geometry and tranquility — a composition that feels both architectural and softly organic. Handwoven in the village of Veece, in western Persia, this 7'7" x 10'11" masterpiece captures the region’s distinctive approach to design: precise structure tempered by graceful movement and a luminous, time-softened palette.

At the center lies an oversized hexagonal medallion, elegantly detailed and framed by double diamond finials at each end. Surrounding these central motifs, hooked and latch-like flourishes extend outward in rhythmic symmetry — ancient symbols of continuity and protection. The main border, adorned with a scrolling pomegranate vine, adds a sense of fertility and abundance, one of the most enduring motifs in Persian design. Every detail, from the serrated angles to the softened arabesques, showcases the technical mastery of mid-century Veece weaving.

Its colors speak in the language of serenity. A ground of dusty denim blue and powder blue flows beneath accents of ivory, pale rose, beige, and madder root red — hues that seem to shimmer like reflections on still water. Flecks of ruby grapefruit and oxidized sand lend warmth and contrast, balancing the cool tonality with quiet depth. The result is a rug that feels both grounding and ethereal, its surface alive with abrash striations that tell the story of hand-dyed wool and the passage of time.

The wool itself, finely knotted upon a cotton foundation, carries the supple strength and soft hand characteristic of authentic Persian craftsmanship. The carpet shows even, beautiful wear to the knot heads, revealing faint glimpses of the foundation beneath — the kind of natural aging that connoisseurs value for its honesty and patina. Its original selvages are intact or professionally restored, while the sides and ends have been carefully secured. Recently cleaned, it is ready to grace a modern or traditional home with enduring beauty.

The 1950s Vintage Persian Veece Carpet with Hexagonal Medallion Design transcends eras and aesthetics. In a vintage-inspired setting, its misty blues and pale roses echo the hues of sea and sky; its aged ivory and warm undertones harmonize with linen, oak, and light. Whether draped beneath a farmhouse table or anchoring a living room bathed in natural light, this vintage rug invites calm and elegance into the everyday.

Each thread holds a whisper of heritage, each worn patch a record of life and artistry. This is not simply a vintage rug — it is a canvas of time, woven with the rhythm of history and softened by the gentle hand of age.
