3518 · 6'3" x 8'10" Persian Ghoochan Area Rug

Rows of octagonal guls in cream, teal and orange sit in the deep red field of this remarkable rug. Set in a deep red field, rows of octagonal guls repeat in cream, teal and orange. The gul is the tribal emblem, and here each one holds a quartered cross with small hooked leaves. There are no corner spandrels, as the pattern runs straight to the edge of the field. A gorgeous burgundy main border carries geometric rosettes and stepped motifs in cream and dark brown. Narrow guard stripes with a cream and black running hook pattern frame the border on both sides. The pile is full across the face and in the borders. It suits a room that needs a strong red anchor without a busy central drawing. At 6'3" by 8'10", 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.
