Cream Persian Design Rug — 1200 Reeds

Tehran workshop-commercial register, ivory-ground variant

Cream-ground Tehran urban-workshop carpets were the favourites of the daylight apartments of the 1970s — rooms designed around large windows, where a darker rug would have collapsed the light. The composition is the same urban-commercial medallion-and-corner; the ground is bleached toward ivory so the carpet reads as light textile rather than as gravity.

This 1200 Reeds machine-woven piece quotes that daylight-Tehran register. Ivory and cream ground, restrained medallion. It is a design-language reference, not a vintage Tehran rug. Not hand-knotted.

How it feels in a room

Lifted. The ivory ground reflects light back into a room rather than absorbing it — the rug for a south-facing or window-led space where the room wants to read brighter. Under warm incandescent the ivory warms toward bone; under cool LED it stays clean-white.

Construction

1200 Reeds machine-woven polypropylene

Density (شانه shaneh / تراکم tarakom)

1200 reed-count, dense urban-workshop weave

Field

Ivory and cream ground with restrained medallion-and-corner

Heritage register

Tehran urban workshop-commercial, daylight-Tehran ivory cohort (1970s onward)

Care

Not a machine-washable rug. Light-ground rugs show wear and stains more readily than dark grounds — treat as you would a fabric upholstered chair. Vacuum weekly. Blot any spill within seconds, never let it sit. Professional clean every 12–18 months for high-traffic rooms; every 24 months in low-traffic.

Available sizes

3×6, 4×6, 5×7.5, 5×8, 8×10, 8×11, 10×13. See variant selector for current pricing and stock.

Designer styling

Pairs with light woods (oak, maple, ash), brushed nickel, off-white walls, and pale upholstery. Works in south-facing rooms, sunrooms, daylight-driven living rooms, and minimalist interiors that want a Persian rug without weight.

Best for / Skip if

Best for: daylight-driven rooms, sunrooms, light-furniture interiors, minimalist spaces, owners who want a bright Persian rug.
Skip if: you have young children, indoor pets that shed dark fur, or eat in the room. Light grounds reward households that can keep them clean.

About 1200 Reeds construction: شانه (shaneh) refers to reed-count density. تراکم (tarakom) refers to knot/weft density. See our complete guide to reed-count density.

This piece sits in the easy-care performance family — high-density polypropylene or polyester pile on a cotton foundation, precision machine-woven for sharp pattern definition with hand-finished edges. The construction is purpose-built for family-friendly living: stain-resistant, fade-resistant, low-maintenance, and forgiving of regular vacuuming and spot cleaning.

Patterns are inspired by Persian, Kashan, Tabriz, and Turkmen design vocabularies — reinterpreted in a soft synthetic blend that performs in high-traffic rooms without the maintenance commitment of a hand-knotted wool piece.

6.5×10 ft (200×300 cm, 6 m²) — medium living rooms and bedrooms with furniture partially on the rug.

Styling tip: a rug should extend 18–24 inches beyond the sofa on each side for a balanced look.

• Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off to protect the pile
• Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (don't rub)
• Rotate the rug 180° every 6 months for even wear
• Professional clean every 18–24 months
• Use a quality rug pad on hardwood for cushion and to extend life
