Flowering trees, with birds in their branches, rise along the field of this lovely runner. Navy carries the whole field, set with rows of trees on straight trunks hung with rose, powder blue and cream blossoms. There is no medallion; the trees repeat up the length, and the central trees carry rosettes, flowers seen from above. At one end, small deer stand among grassy mounds beneath the branches. The handsome deep red border runs a flowering vine of blue and cream blossoms, with small birds tucked among them. Cream guard stripes edge the border on both sides, each set with tiny flowers. The pile is low, and a patch near one end has worn down to the foundation. There the navy and the red read paler. It brings deep red and navy into a narrow space, with rose and powder blue lifting the dark ground. At 3'5" by 7'10", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.
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.
About Kerman rugs
The Wagner garden carpet of the Burrell Collection, made in Kerman under the Safavid dynasty, is the earliest garden carpet outside Asia. In the first half of the 20th century Kerman rugs were sold in the West under the name Kermanshah. Kerman lies in southeastern Persia, and its weavers worked in a palette of powder blue, ivory, rose and pale green. This runner carries rose and powder blue through its blossoms, set here on a dark navy ground inside a deep red border. Its trees rise on straight trunks in mirrored rows, leafed in green and hung with cream and gold flowers. Birds sit in the branches along the field, and deer graze among grassy mounds at one end. The flowers fill the field closely from edge to edge.

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.
