3728 · 7' x 10'3" Persian Arak Area Rug

A charming vine of palmettes in red and cream sits in the wide navy main border. Fine scrolling vines hung with cream and olive leaves and blue and rose blossoms spread over a deep red field. At the center sits a splendid navy pointed medallion with a cream and rose rosette core, a flower seen from above. Small navy and cream lozenges sit above and below it. The four corners are filled with beautiful steel blue spandrels. The wide navy main border carries a vine of palmettes in red and cream. Cream guard stripes of tiny crosses edge it on both sides, each backed by a steel blue band. No wear shows, and the colors hold their full strength. It suits a room that wants one clear focal point, with the warm red set against the cool blue. At 7' by 10'3", 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.
