This wonderful rug sets a deep burgundy field inside a wide cream border. Palmettes, flower heads and curled leaves in cream cover the burgundy field, linked by graceful scrolling vines. Steel blue leaves and small blue rosettes give the cream pattern its cooler notes, with touches of muted pink. There is no medallion, and the field is an all-over repeat set along a center line. A stepped cream band of small flower heads frames the field on every side. The main border is a handsome cream band, with burgundy vines curving into lobed panels around blue and pink sprays. Narrow guard stripes of red and blue dots sit on either side of it, and a serrated burgundy and cream band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the field and the border. It grounds a sitting room in burgundy and cream, while the steel blue leaves keep the red from feeling heavy. At 6'11" by 9'2", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.
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. Borders that turn cleanly at the corners and vine scrolls planned in full before weaving began are marks of Tabriz work. Its workshops used a wider palette than most, with ivory and pale blue alongside the reds. This rug shares that planning, with vines scrolling in mirror image down both halves of the field and a border that turns cleanly at each corner. Its burgundy field sits inside cream, and steel blue leaves and muted pink touches run through both.

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.
