Four lobed cartouches in powder blue hold standing deer on this lovely rug. Across a red field, four lobed cartouches in powder blue hold standing deer among flowering sprays. A small ochre star sits at the center where the cartouches meet, and matching stars fill the corners of the field. The main border runs ochre with a graceful vine of small blossoms, framed by narrow guard stripes of cream triangles. The pile is full in the field and in the borders. The cool blue panels stand out against the warm red ground. At 2' by 2'11", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside 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.
About Shahreza rugs
Shahreza lies south of Isfahan in central Persia and is also known by its older name, Qumsheh. In 1597 to 1598 Shah Abbas I moved the Safavid capital to Isfahan, the city that gives Shahreza’s province its name. The French jeweler Jean Chardin, who traveled through Persia in the 1660s and 1670s, called Isfahan the greatest and most beautiful town in the whole Orient. The weaving takes the floral vocabulary of the Isfahan district and works it at village scale, with simpler drawing and a warmer, less formal palette. That village scale shows in the bold outlines of the deer and the flowers around them. The cartouches set the animals inside blue panels on the red ground.

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.
