1969 · 2'7" x 11'4" Persian Tabriz Runner Rug

Lobed medallions in soft blue and brown run down the muted pink field of this delightful rug. Set within a muted pink field, three large lobed medallions repeat down the length in soft blue and brown. Two hold stepped geometric cores, the faded blue one near the lower end has an open center, and dainty sprays of small blossoms float in the open space between them. Large spandrels at the four corners carry lovely curling vines and flower heads that match the central drawing. The main border is pale rose, carrying a row of small rosettes and cross shapes in brown. A narrow guard stripe with a zigzag line frames this band on either side. Pile stands even across the face, keeping every line of the pattern clear. It grounds a long passage, and the pale blue notes cool the soft pink. At 2'7" by 11'4", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a 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.
