1405 · 6'7" x 9'10" Persian Birjand Area Rug

At the center of this charming rug sits a large diamond medallion. On a beige field, a fine herati lattice, the fish-and-leaf pattern, in brown and pale blue repeats across the whole ground. A large diamond medallion sits at the center, a broad steel blue band with a stepped edge around a beige inner diamond and a small pale blue core. Around the field runs a pale blue main border, set with graceful brown rosettes, diamond shapes, curling leaves and small blue flowers. Brown guard bands holding splendid oval cartouches and a dotted stripe run along either side of it. Pile runs low in spots over the field and the blue band, and the foundation shows in a few patches. The steel blue band and pale blue border hold back the warm brown and beige tones. At 6'7" by 9'10", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
