11125 · 6'11" x 9'2" Persian Tabriz Area Rug

A dark blue ring at the heart of this remarkable rug catches the eye first. The beige field is filled with scrolling vines, palmettes and small blossoms in terracotta, olive and pale blue. At the center sits a lobed terracotta medallion with a notched outline. Inside it, a dark blue ring of curled leaves circles an olive core and a rosette, a flower seen from above. Cross-shaped terracotta pendants sit above and below it. Handsome olive spandrels fill the four corners, set with pale blue palmettes and small flower heads. The terracotta main border carries a graceful scroll of palmettes and vines with dark blue accents. Narrow pale blue guard stripes run on either side of it. The pile is short and full, with a few pale specks in the upper olive corner. It holds a room in warm terracotta and olive, and the beige field keeps the center light. 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.
