2' x 3' Persian Medallion Hand Tufted Wool Area Rug in Cobalt Blue & Gold

This hand tufted wool rug makes no concessions to subtlety — a large, fully saturated Persian floral medallion sits at the center of a deep cobalt blue field, rendered in gold, slate gray, and soft black with a level of detail that rewards close inspection. The medallion structure follows a classical format: a rosette center expanding into lobed cartouches and botanical fill, framed by a stepped surround that anchors it firmly within the field. A dense gray border with its own scrolling floral and geometric detail completes the composition on all four sides.

The color here is the defining quality. Where many rugs in this format use distressing to tone down the contrast, this one keeps the palette fully intact — the cobalt blue is saturated and consistent across the field, and the gold detailing holds its warmth throughout. It reads as a deliberate, confident design choice rather than a reproduction of something antique.

Hand tufted in India from wool fibers with a cotton backing, the construction produces a 0.45-inch pile with natural variation in texture and density across the hand-worked surface. At 4 pounds for a 2 by 3 foot rug, the wool content is substantial enough to feel genuinely dense underfoot. Spot cleaning with water is recommended to preserve the fiber integrity.

At 2 by 3 feet, this rug works as a strong accent piece — beside a bed, in front of a reading chair, in an entryway, or layered over a larger neutral base where the cobalt and gold can stand out clearly. It suits traditionally styled rooms as well as contemporary spaces that use bold color as a deliberate design element.
