A stepped diamond medallion, hooked along every edge, fills the center of this charming rug. The diamond is worked in rings of rust, plum, green and light blue around a cream center. Diagonal striped bands fill the sides of the rust field. Four plum and green corner panels hold H-shaped motifs, and a small tree stands at the top and bottom. The border is cream with small rust crosses. It holds a lot of color, best on a plain floor with simple furniture. At 3'11" by 6', it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
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 Shiraz rugs
The Qashqai tribal confederacy was formed in the late 18th century, during or just after the rule of Karim Khan Zand in Shiraz. The Qashqai have the reputation of making the best rugs of the Shiraz district, the brightest in color, with rich blues and reds. Shiraz is the market city of Fars province in southern Persia, and the rugs sold under its name came from the tribal and village weavers of the surrounding country. No two are laid out quite alike. This one pairs its stepped diamond with tree motifs and four corner panels. Rust, plum and green carry the whole design.

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.
