Across a tan field, two large diamond medallions sit stacked in the center, outlined in burgundy with teal and brown cores. Small stepped motifs in teal and brown occupy the space between the central figures and the frame. A row of octagonal emblems in burgundy, teal and brown runs along the splendid main border. The pile is full. It brings a sharp geometric focus to a small floor space, balancing the warm ground with cool teal notes.

A main carpet was the prized possession of the round Turkmen tent. In northeastern Persia, Turkmen weavers keep to a strict grid of gul motifs, the same octagonal figure repeated across the field with almost no variation. That sounds austere, yet it is the opposite, because the drawing never changes and all the life is in the color. This rug holds that rigid geometry in its border row of emblems and the two central diamonds. The tan ground stays bright, letting the burgundy and teal shapes stand out clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.

Over a cream field, scattered birds, blossoms and leaves in rust, pink and brown fill the open ground. A large stepped diamond medallion rests in the middle on a near-black ground, holding a vertical column of graceful rosettes and birds in brown and bright pink. A narrow dark brown border with small geometric motifs frames the field. Nothing in the close views shows a thin spot. It brings soft cream and bright pink tones to a small spot.

Scholars have described the building as anticipating the Taj Mahal. Zanjan lies on the road between Tabriz and Hamedan in northwestern Persia, and its village weavers borrowed from both. The designs are geometric and the formats run long, so many Zanjan pieces are long and narrow. These are working rugs, not showpieces. This piece keeps the village character, though it takes a short rectangular shape rather than a long one. The bright pink birds inside the near-black central diamond contrast sharply with the lighter surrounding field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
