The first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug is its large cream medallion. On a dusty rose field, cream sprigs link into a lattice of six-sided cells, each holding a pretty rosette in pale blue and cream. The medallion is a lobed diamond outlined in light brown, with pale blue and pink flowers clustered at its core. Cream pendants sit above and below it, with smaller ones at either side. Pale blue spandrels fill the corners, set with cream and pink palmettes. The main border is a handsome cream band, carrying a scroll of palmettes and leaves in dusty rose and light brown. Guard stripes on both sides carry small pink squares and tiny cross-flowers on dusty rose. The pile is high across the field and the borders. It holds a large room in dusty rose and cream, while the pale blue corners bring a cooler note. At 11' by 13'7", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
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 Tabriz rugs
Tabriz weavers tie their knots with a small hooked knife instead of their fingers, and have been timed at faster than one knot a second. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Centered medallions, borders that turn cleanly at the corners and vine scrolls planned in full before weaving began are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug keeps that centered medallion, with its pendants set on one line, and its cream border turns cleanly at each corner around a palmette scroll. The field lattice is laid out in steady rows, every cell holding one rosette, and pale blue returns in the corners and in a narrow stripe beside the border.

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.
