11170 · 8' x 10'10" Persian Torkaman Oversized Rug

A column of gold medallions runs down the center of this remarkable rug. Over a stone field, blocks of small lattice alternate with sprays of rosettes, deep red leaves and tall sage green palmettes. At the center, a small gold lobed medallion holds a deep red flower, with a dark green palmette in a ring of beads just below it. Larger gold medallions with starred cores sit above and below, each framed by teal curling leaves. Near each corner sits a pale palmette outlined in sage green. The handsome gold border carries teal cartouches holding small flowers, set among deep red blossoms. Narrow guard stripes of small leaves run on either side of it. The pile is low, and the design reads clear across the whole field. It holds a room with soft gold and stone, while the teal and deep red keep it lively. At 8' by 10'10", 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.
