Description

This vintage Persian Veece carpet is structured around a triple medallion composition, set against an open field that enhances its architectural clarity. Corner spandrels and field overlays loosely echo the contour of the main medallions, creating balance without visual density.

The unusual square proportions give the rug distinctive presence—ideal for centered placements where symmetry and scale matter.

The palette is bold yet harmonious: cherry red paired with sapphire and powder blue, softened by subtle tonal variation. The contrast between saturated reds and cool blues creates dynamic energy without overwhelming the space.

Gohar is a piece defined by strength and proportion—assertive in structure, yet spacious in execution.

History

Veece rugs are woven in northwestern Persia and are closely related to Heriz traditions, known for bold medallions and durable wool foundations.

By the 1950s, Veece weavers frequently employed strong geometric layouts with open fields, emphasizing structure and scale over dense ornament.

Vintage Veece carpets from this era are appreciated for their architectural presence and versatility in both traditional and modern interiors.

ORIGIN STORY

The Veece Collection

Gohar is a vintage Veece rug distinguished by bold hexagonal medallions, strong geometric articulation, and northwestern Persian durability. Woven near the Heriz region, Veece carpets share structural clarity and robust wool foundations while often featuring more expansive medallions and rhythmic botanical borders.

Veece rugs are celebrated for their architectural presence—oversized center medallions, hook-and-latch detailing, and symbolic vine borders that balance structure with movement. Their palettes often blend saturated reds and blues with softened neutrals and abrash, giving each piece tonal depth without heaviness. Confident yet adaptable, Veece carpets anchor interiors with strength, scale, and enduring character.
