3537 · 7'7" x 10'11" Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug

On this remarkable rug, pink and red flowers are strewn on the near-black ground of the broad border. The deep red field is crowded with small blossoms and curling vines in cream, blue and green. A splendid central medallion in cream holds a red floral core inside a near-black star frame, with small near-black pendants above and below. Cream spandrels fill the four corners, set with pretty floral sprays in blue, pink and green. Its broad border sits on a near-black ground, strewn with pink and red flowers, small blossoms and green leaves. Ochre bands with small flowers lie on either side of it, and a thin teal stripe edges the field. The pile is full. It holds a formal room together, the cream corners opening up a field this red. At 7'7" by 10'11", 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.
