Large blossoms in slate blue and gold float across this lovely rug. The powder blue field carries big palmettes and rosettes in cream, gold and slate blue, linked by graceful curling vines. There is no medallion: the pattern runs as an all-over repeat, with smaller flower heads and leaves scattered between the large blooms. The wide main border keeps a pale blue ground close to the field, set with handsome cream and gold palmettes and slate blue sprays. Narrow guard stripes in pale green and gold, dotted with small blue blossoms, frame the border on both sides. The pile is low across the rug. It reads as a quiet, airy ground for a room, where the slate blue blooms lend the pale field some depth. At 9'2" by 12'5", 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
Medallion carpet designs of the 16th century are usually associated with Tabriz, then the Safavid capital and the seat of the royal design workshops. A special court workshop, possibly at Tabriz, is credited with translating the most splendid book illuminations into carpets. Tabriz is a city of workshops in northwestern Persia. Its workshops used a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds appear alongside the reds. This rug belongs with those pale grounds, a powder blue field inside a pale blue border. Its blossoms are large and set well apart, so the powder blue ground shows freely between them. Slate blue gives the deepest notes, gold and cream the warm ones, and pale green runs through the guard stripes.

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.
