2x3 Vintage Rugs
Vintage Persian rugs measuring roughly 2x3 feet. Small accent rugs for an entryway, a bedside or a reading corner.
Everything in this size is Persian, and Hamedan and Torkaman are the two names you will meet again and again. Deep red fields lead by a wide margin, with cream next.
No two of these doormat-sized pieces are alike: each was hand-knotted around fifty years ago, then professionally washed and cleaned by specialists we have trusted for years before it went on the site. A rug sold as 2x3 can run an inch or two over or under, since hand-knotting never lands on a round number. Check the rug’s own page for its measurement in feet and inches, with centimeters in parentheses.
We ship every 2x3 free and insured within the US and Canada, and you have seven days to send it back (fourteen in the European Union).
Where a 2x3 rug works
The 2x3 is the classic doormat and bath mat size. It sits inside a front door, in front of a kitchen sink or beside a tub, and it is small enough to move from room to room as the seasons change.
Other rooms for this size
You will also find this size among our hallway and entry rugs and kitchen rugs.
Close in size
A doormat-sized rug knotted by hand rarely hits 2x3 on the dot, so the 2x2 rugs and 2x4 rugs are worth a look too. All of the smallest pieces sit together under mini and accent rugs, and our size guide matches rug sizes to rooms.
Who wove them
Every 2x3 rug here is Persian, and the names that come up most often are Hamedan, Torkaman and Baluch. The Hamedan guide, the Torkaman guide and the Baluch guide walk through how each region’s rugs differ.
Before it arrives
Even a mat this small can skid on tile or wood, so a thin rug pad is worth adding; our rug pad guide compares the options. Delivery costs nothing in the US and Canada and is insured, with the full terms on shipping and returns.
