A stepped diamond medallion makes this a charming rug. Over a faded tan field with a cream cast, a splendid stepped diamond medallion sits at the center, with a tall pointed lozenge reaching toward each end. Charcoal figures fill the ground, linked by thin lines and small geometric shapes. Cream triangular pieces hold matching stepped forms at the top corners, and a band of small charcoal bars runs across each end. The border is a dark charcoal band, nearly lost in wear. The pile is worn thin across much of the surface, and the light ground fades where the foundation appears. The narrow format shows off the charcoal drawing against the pale base in a clear graphic line. At 2'11" by 6'1", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
About Ferdos rugs
Travelers of the Safavid era remarked on the fine Khorasan carpets sold in the Persian Gulf port of Hormuz and in one of the main caravansaries of Isfahan. The Herat carpets are the classic carpets of Khorasan, and pieces in the herati pattern survive from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In eastern Persia’s Khorasan region, Ferdos shares a weaving belt with Birjand and Mashhad. Its rugs tend toward the curvilinear drawing of eastern Persia, with repeating floral fields instead of one dominant medallion, on a palette of madder red and indigo. This narrow rug keeps its regional link to eastern Persia but trades the curvilinear floral field for a bold geometric medallion. The expected madder and indigo are absent, replaced by a washed palette of cream, charcoal and gray brown.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
