A navy diamond medallion with a cream cross holds the center of this lovely rug. On a deep red field that reads burgundy from across the room, rows of small diamond-shaped plants, shrubs and rosettes cover every inch. Little trees and cypress shapes sit among them. The medallion has a stepped outline banded in orange, with a small pendant at each point. Its cream cross carries four red lobes. Handsome navy spandrels fill the four corners, each holding an orange cross-shaped flower and scattered blossoms. The cream main border carries a chain of red and navy compartments, framed by narrow guard stripes of small rosettes. The pile is low, and one corner shows a pale patch. It settles a dining room or a sitting area with deep red and navy, and the cream border brightens the edges. At 7'2" by 10'4", 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.
About Joshaghan rugs
In the reign of Nadir Shah the carpet weaving of the Joshaghan district received a new impulse, and it flourished until nearly the middle of the 19th century. A century before Walter Hawley wrote on rugs in 1913, the Joshaghan district was weaving some of the best carpets of Persia. Joshaghan sits north of Isfahan in central Persia, and it has woven the same design for a very long time. The field there is divided into a diamond lattice, each compartment holding a small stylized flowering plant. This rug keeps that plan, with its diamond-shaped plants and shrubs set in diagonal rows across the deep red field. It reads as pattern rather than picture from across a room. The navy medallion and navy corners frame that pattern, and the cream border closes it on all four sides.

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.
