A lobed medallion ringed in charcoal leaves sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Within a salmon field, graceful sprays of cream and pale blue blossoms gather around the center and along a scalloped edge, with boteh tucked among them. The medallion holds a star-shaped cream core inside its ring of charcoal leaves, and a handsome pendant stands above and below it. Wide cream spandrels fill the corners, outlined in pale blue that follows every scallop of the field. The gray brown main border carries cream palmettes, boteh and pale blue blossoms in a close floral scroll. Cream guard stripes on either side hold a small running scroll. The pile is low across the whole rug. It holds a dining room or a big seating area in salmon and cream, with the pale blue keeping the whole face light. At 9'7" 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. 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 are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug has that centered medallion, and its gray brown border turns cleanly at each corner with the floral scroll unbroken. Its salmon field opens out in scalloped steps toward the cream spandrels, and a pale blue outline traces every curve between them.

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.
