11030 · 6'3" x 9'10" Persian Tabriz Area Rug

A lobed navy medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Within a deep red field that reads burgundy from across the room, curling vines carry palmettes, rosettes and sweeping leaves in cream, pale blue and gold. The medallion is edged in pale blue, its navy ground holding a gold star with a small red rosette at its core. Handsome navy pendants, each a lobed cartouche, hang above and below it on the long axis. The navy main border carries a graceful vine scroll of palmettes and cream rosettes. Cream guard stripes set with small red and blue flowers run on either side, and a thin pale blue stripe edges the field. Pile runs low in spots, and the foundation shows through in a few patches of the field. It brings warm red and navy into a sitting room, and the cream guards keep the edges bright. At 6'3" by 9'10", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen 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.
