11009 · 7'2" x 9'6" Persian Torkaman Area Rug

A slate blue lattice of stepped diamonds runs across this lovely rug. Over a slate blue field, camel and muted pink diamonds alternate, with the blue bands between them set on the diagonal. Each camel diamond holds a small muted pink cross, ringed in cream and dotted with dark brown. Each pink diamond holds a camel cross outlined in dark brown, with hooked points. The pattern repeats across the whole field, with no medallion. The handsome border is laid on camel, its main band set with dark brown four-point stars and muted pink rosettes in turn. Narrow guard stripes of dark brown and cream dashes flank it, and an outer band of muted pink and cream closes the edge. The low pile is full across the field and the border. It settles a room in quiet slate blue and camel, with the muted pink adding warmth. At 7'2" by 9'6", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
