A scalloped frame of sage and white scrolls rings the open center of this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads beige, a quiet ground left open from end to end. No medallion sits on it. Instead a deep red band frames the field, carrying a handsome chain of sage green roundels joined by straight bars, each with a white dot at its core. A white line traces the chain on both sides. Past a wide beige band, the main border is deep red, broad and mostly open. Its inner edge carries the scalloped frame, with graceful pointed palmettes rising into the red at regular intervals. The pile is high across the rug, and the beige field shows a few warmer patches near its center. It holds a bedroom or study with quiet warmth, the deep red and sage green easy beside pale walls and light wood. At 4'7" by 6'3", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
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 Kerman rugs
The Wagner garden carpet of the Burrell Collection, made in Kerman under the Safavid dynasty, is the earliest garden carpet outside Asia. In the first half of the 20th century Kerman rugs were sold in the West under the name Kermanshah. Kerman, in southeastern Persia, often worked on a pale ground. Its drawing is open, with more space left empty than a Kashan or a Tabriz would allow. This Persian rug shares both: a beige ground and a center left entirely open, with all the pattern pushed out to the frames. The scrolls of its outer frame curl and turn, while the chain of roundels runs in straight bars with square corners. Deep red fills the outer border, so the pale center sits inside a warm, broad margin.

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.
