A large scalloped cream medallion fills almost the whole center of this lovely rug. Within a rust field, graceful flowering vines carry small blossoms in pale blue, cream and near-black. The medallion is a lobed diamond with pointed tips, its cream ground covered in scrolling vines, rosettes and leaves in blue, rose and cream. A small rosette with a near-black center marks its core, and small palmettes sit near its points. The handsome main border has a near-black ground, worked with rose and cream flower sprays and rosettes. Guard stripes of small blue blossoms and twisted bands in rose and near-black frame it on either side. A plain cream band runs around the outer edge. The pile is low over the whole rug. It slips into a dining room or a large sitting room, where the cream center lifts the rust and near-black around it. At 9'7" by 11'6", 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 stood for a long period on the great caravan routes to Trebizond and Tiflis, and became the principal market of Persia for the export of rugs. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. Medallions are properly centered, and borders turn cleanly at the corners. Tabriz workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds turn up alongside the reds. This rug keeps that discipline: its cream medallion sits square in the center, and the border turns cleanly at each corner. Its rust field and near-black border hold a cream center scattered with blue rosettes, and twisted rose stripes run around the whole.

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.
