Large dusty rose and cream palmettes float across this lovely rug from end to end. Across a steel gray field, graceful vine scrolls link the palmettes with smaller rosettes and curled leaves in pale green. The field has no medallion, only an all-over repeat that runs its whole length. The wide border has a pale blue gray ground, set with handsome palmettes in dusty rose, cream and darker gray on curling vine stems. A pale green guard stripe with small rose sprigs and a darker stripe of tiny cream and rose flowers edge it on both sides. The pile is low across the whole rug. It reads as calm and cool in a room, with the dusty rose bringing warmth to the steel gray and pale green. At 10'2" by 13'9", 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 Tabriz rugs
Isma’il, the first Safavid shah, was crowned in Tabriz in 1501. Tabriz stood for a long period on the great caravan routes to Trebizond and Tiflis, and became the principal market of Persia for the export of rugs. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Its workshops used a wider palette than most, and pale blue grounds appear among them. This rug shares that discipline, with vine scrolls that connect every palmette across the field and a border that turns cleanly at each corner. Its colors stay cool, with the steel gray field and the pale blue gray border set against dusty rose, cream and pale 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.
