Gray Persian Design Rug — 1200 Reeds

Tehran workshop-commercial register, neutral palette

The Tehran urban-workshop tradition occasionally produced cohorts of carpet on neutral gray and silver grounds — carpets aimed at apartments in the modernizing 1970s where homeowners wanted a Persian rug that did not impose a colour temperature on the room. The medallion-and-corner architecture stayed; the saturation came down. The result is a carpet that reads more like a textile than a statement.

This 1200 Reeds machine-woven piece quotes that lighter-saturation Tehran register. Neutral gray ground, restrained medallion. It is a design-language reference, not a vintage Tehran workshop rug. Not hand-knotted.

How it feels in a room

Recessive. The gray takes whatever the rest of the room wants to be — warm wood and incandescent push it warmer, cool stone and LED push it cooler. The widest cross-style fit of any rug in this cohort. Reads well under any lighting condition.

Construction

1200 Reeds machine-woven polypropylene

Density (شانه shaneh / تراکم tarakom)

1200 reed-count, dense urban-workshop weave

Field

Neutral gray ground with restrained medallion-and-corner

Heritage register

Tehran urban workshop-commercial, lighter-saturation cohort (1970s onward)

Care

Not a machine-washable rug. The neutral field forgives pet hair and minor wear. Vacuum weekly under normal traffic. Blot any spills promptly. Professional clean every 24 months.

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 almost any palette — warm and cool architecturals, traditional and clean-line furniture, light and dark woods. The neutral gray field is the closest thing in this cohort to a universal rug.

Best for / Skip if

Best for: transitional interiors, mixed-style rooms, owners who want a Persian rug as a background textile rather than a focal point, families with pets (the gray hides hair).
Skip if: you want a saturated statement rug.

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.

3×6 ft runner (91×200 cm) — entryways, short hallways, and bedside runs.

3×10 ft runner (91×300 cm) — standard hallways and kitchen runs.

5×7.5 ft (150×230 cm, 3.5 m²) — entry rooms, small bedrooms, and sitting areas.

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

8.2×11.5 ft (250×350 cm, 9 m²) — large living rooms and formal dining rooms (all furniture sitting 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
