A small sage and pale blue medallion sits alone at the center of this charming rug. The stone field opens out as a long hexagon, almost bare around the medallion. The medallion has a pale blue oval at its core, with a pendant above and below and a small spray at each side. Beyond the hexagon, pale blue panels fill the corners, each square corner holding a rosette. The main border is sand, with sage and pink flower scrolls, between narrow guard stripes. The pile is low across the rug, and every color reads pale. It suits a calm room with pale wood and linen, where its quiet sage and blue can show. At 8' by 10'3", 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 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 worked in the softest palette of the major Persian centers: powder blue, ivory, rose and pale green, often on a pale ground. Kerman drawing is often open, with much of the ground left empty. This rug shares that open plan: its stone field is left almost bare around a small sage and pale blue medallion. Its pale blue corner panels and sand border keep every color light, out to the edge.

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.
