Athena’s Garden

9’8” x 12’8” | Persian | c. 1970s

One of the details I especially love is the subtle variation in pile height. The red wool defining the flowers and leaves was intentionally kept slightly higher, creating a delicate relief that brings the botanical forms forward. It is a beautiful example of the small details that reveal themselves the closer you look, giving the rug an unexpected sense of depth and dimension.

Hand-knotted in 100% wool on a cotton foundation, Athena’s Garden has a substantial presence, weighing approximately 70 pounds. Dating to the 1970s, it remains in excellent condition, with rich color, a beautiful medium pile, and wonderfully preserved detail.

At 9’8” x 12’8”, its generous proportions make it particularly striking in a living room, dining room, bedroom, or any space where a richly colored rug can serve as the foundation for the room.

Rich in color, beautiful in detail, and full of the subtle craftsmanship that makes an older rug special, Athena’s Garden is a piece designed to be noticed—and enjoyed for years to come.
