The bright green cross at the center of this lovely rug catches the eye first. Worked on a teal field, small flowers, leaves and hooked sprigs in cream, orange and slate blue fill a stepped frame of orange and cream squares. The medallion is a stepped slate blue diamond around a cream lobed panel, and the green cross sits inside it with a small square at its heart. A handsome palmette in cream rises above the medallion and another hangs below, each with an orange hexagon at its center. Pale corner spandrels hold cream and green flower sprays. The beautiful slate blue border carries a vine scroll of rosettes and leaves in cream, green and orange. Pale guard stripes on either side are set with tiny orange and green flowers. The pile is low across the whole rug. It holds teal and slate blue together, and the orange accents bring warmth to a cool room. At 8' by 9'7", 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 Tabriz rugs
From the middle of the 1800s commercial carpet weaving revived in Persia, and Tabriz was one of its most important centers, weaving largely for Europe. Its 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 and borders that turn cleanly at the corners are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug keeps both, with its stepped medallion set squarely in the middle and its slate blue border turning cleanly at each corner around a rosette. Its teal field carries a stepped frame of orange and cream squares, and the four pale spandrels hold matching sprays of cream and green.

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.
