1961 · 7'3" x 10'8" Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug

Wide cream spandrels crowded with pink blossoms and sage leaves fill the four corners of this charming rug. Delicate curling vines and small rosettes in cream, gray beige and pale blue scatter around a large central medallion across the faded red field. The medallion is a lobed navy diamond with a cream core, sending pendants up and down the length. Wide cream spandrels fill the four corners, crowded with dainty pink blossoms and sage leaves. The main border runs navy, carrying large palmettes in gold, cream and rust linked by a fine vine. Narrow guard stripes of cream and red rosettes frame the border on each side. The red field is worn low across the middle, where the weave shows through and the red reads paler. Wide cream corners lighten the heavy red center, balancing the formal layout of this rug. At 7'3" by 10'8", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

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.
