The Overdyed Persian Collection

See Imaco Rugs profile

This collection represents a unique dialogue between heritage and contemporary design. Introducing The Overdyed Persian Collection—a key part of our Curated Ready Collections.

This is our most transformative offering. We begin by hand-picking authentic, hand-knotted Persian rugs, each a unique piece of heritage. These rugs then undergo a meticulous process: the pile is sheared down to create a lower, more modern profile, and the entire piece is overdyed in a rich, monochromatic hue.

The result is magical. The original, intricate pattern of the Persian rug is not erased; it emerges subtly through the new colour, creating a stunning vintage and distressed look. It's a piece that is simultaneously ancient and perfectly modern.

Each rug in this collection is a true one-of-a-kind, offering 'accessible luxury' by breathing new life into a timeless masterpiece.
