3338 · 6'8" x 9'9" Persian Bakhtiari Area Rug

The broad octagonal medallion makes this a charming rug. Over a tan field, a broad octagonal medallion holds a ring of small geometric rosettes around a central cross, with stepped pendants stacked above and below it. Tiny sprigs and hooked motifs in dark brown and cream are scattered over the surrounding ground. Handsome teal and tan corner pieces with stepped edges fill the four corners. The gorgeous main border runs dark brown, carrying bold angular shapes in cream, teal and camel. Rows of small camel and cream lozenges frame the border band on both sides. Low patches show in the field, and a light antique wash has softened the colors without reaching the drawing. It grounds a sitting area, where the teal accents cool the warm earth tones. At 6'8" by 9'9", 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.
