A navy stepped diamond at the center catches the eye first on this lovely rug. On a red field that reads burgundy from across a room, rows of pretty flowering plants and cream-outlined diamonds spread out in diagonal lines. The medallion is a serrated navy diamond banded in red and navy, edged with a cream zigzag, with a small red core and a pendant at the top and bottom. Navy spandrels fill the four corners of the field, each set with cream and red sprays behind a cream zigzag line. The main border is a handsome black cherry band of cream-edged cartouches, red sprays and small rosettes. Guard stripes with a cream chain run along both sides of it. The pile is low, and a few patches in the field and one in a side border have worn down to the foundation. It holds a dining room or a sitting area, where the navy corners and cream outlines cool all that red. At 7'2" by 10'8", 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. Its field holds small stylized flowering plants, a layout that reads as pattern rather than picture from across a room. This rug shares those flowering plants, set in diagonal rows across the red field with cream-outlined diamonds between them. A navy diamond medallion sits at the center, and navy spandrels fill the corners, all framed by a black cherry border of cartouches.

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.
