3741 · 6'9" x 11'1" Persian Arak Oversized Rug

Charming pointed pendants rise above and below the near-black star medallion. The deep red field holds delicate scrolling vines in gold and cream, with small steel blue blossoms between them. At the center, a near-black star medallion carries a gold and cream core, with pointed pendants above and below. Handsome steel blue spandrels fill the four corners, with fine red vine lines running through them and a small brown piece in each angle. The main border has a near-black ground, set with large palmettes and rosettes in red, pink, gold, cream and teal. Narrow guard stripes in steel blue, carrying small pink flowers, run on either side. Pile is full over the whole face. It suits a room that wants warmth, and the steel blue corners cool the heavy red. At 6'9" by 11'1", 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.
