A mid-20th-century Persian Qazvin (Kazvin) carpet from around 1940, measuring approximately 396.5 × 609.8 cm (about 13'0" × 20'0"). The composition pairs a saturated claret field with a dark blue border — a confident formal color register characteristic of Qazvin workshop production. Qazvin is a city in northern Persia (now Iran), historically associated with formal hand-knotted carpet production drawing on the broader vocabularies of the Tabriz and Tehran workshop traditions. Carpets at this scale are particularly suited to grand-format formal rooms. Qazvin is actualy a trade name for carpets woven in Hamadan, initially by OCM. Qazvin was a Persian capital in the mid-16th century and has not historically ben a carpet weaving centre. Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
