11034 · 6'5" x 9'7" Persian Birjand Area Rug

A layered medallion in sage green and cream sits at the heart of this lovely rug. On a mahogany field, rows of small rosettes in ink blue and cream fill a fine diamond lattice. The lobed medallion holds a red rosette core inside bands of cream and sage green. Its outer ring carries red blossoms on ink blue, with a pendant above and below. Ink blue spandrels hold the four corners, each with graceful curling leaves in sage green and a cream patch at the outer tip. A handsome main border follows, its ink blue ground carrying red palmettes and a cream vine. Cream guard stripes with a small red repeat run on either side, and a plain red band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug, and a few patches in the field read darker. It settles a sitting area, and the sage and cream in the corners lift all that mahogany red. At 6'5" by 9'7", 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.
