This lovely rug gathers its color into a large camel medallion ringed in blue. On a rust field, gold vines curl between small flower heads, leaves and slender sprays. The medallion is lobed, with a round camel core edged in blue and four blue lobes set around it. Gold pendants extend above and below it, and small blue rosettes sit at its sides. Handsome camel spandrels fill the four corners, each holding blue panels and curling leaves. The beautiful blue main border carries camel boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, between round rosettes. Narrow rust guard stripes with small flowers run on either side of it, and a camel stripe edges the field. The pile is low across much of the field, and the foundation shows through in places. It reads as a warm rust and camel ground for a dining room, with the blue border cooling its edge. At 7'5" by 11'1", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.
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
From the middle of the 1800s commercial carpet weaving revived in Persia, and Tabriz was one of its most important centers, weaving largely for Europe. The Swiss firm Ziegler, in time the biggest exporter of carpets from Persia, had its first lucky break in Tabriz in 1876. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Centered medallions, borders that turn cleanly at the corners and vine scrolls planned in full before weaving began are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug keeps a centered medallion with pendants, and its vine scrolls reach across the rust field toward each corner. The camel and gold of the medallion return in the spandrels and in the boteh of the blue border, so warm tones circle the whole field.

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.
