A dark blue star medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Within a beige field, graceful vines in dark blue curl around palmettes, small blossoms and leaves, with touches of rose between them. The medallion is a lobed star of scrolling arabesques, with a cream cross at its core on a salmon ground and small pendants above and below. Spandrels in the four corners hold cream quarter panels outlined in dark blue, each tipped with a solid blue cluster at the outer point. The handsome main border is dusty rose, carrying a winding vine of dark blue flower heads and cream leaves. Narrow guard stripes run on both sides of it, beige with a dark blue chain and rows of small dots. The pile is low across the rug. It settles into a dining room or a sitting area, where the beige and dusty rose keep the dark blue of the medallion calm. At 9'10" by 13'1", 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. Its weavers tie their knots with a small hooked knife instead of their fingers, and have been timed at faster than one knot a second. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. Medallions are properly centered, borders turn cleanly at the corners, and the vine scrolls follow a plan worked out in full before weaving began. This rug shares that order: its star medallion sits squarely at the center, and the dusty rose border turns cleanly at all four corners. Its vines spread out from the medallion toward the spandrels in matching quarters, dark blue on beige from end to end.

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.
