Wide stretches of open blue ground give this charming rug a calm, airy look. Worked on a denim field left almost entirely open, a large stepped hexagonal medallion holds the center. Its navy ground carries a closely worked lattice of small flower heads around a cream hexagonal core, and a hooked pendant points toward each end. Handsome navy spandrels filled with the same lattice frame the corners, each turning to cream at its outer point. The beautiful main border has a red ground, set with cream diamond cartouches around blue rosettes, with boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, scattered between them. Pale blue guard stripes on either side carry small boteh and a running leaf. The pile is low, and a few pale patches show in the blue field. It brings a cool pale blue into the room, with the red border and navy corners lending it warmth and weight. At 8'6" by 12'6", 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
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. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. Its workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so pale blue grounds turn up alongside the reds. This rug has both. The medallion is properly centered, and the red border turns cleanly at every corner. Its denim field stays open between the medallion and the spandrels, so the navy lattice and the red border stand out sharply against it.

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.
