4263 · 4'11" x 8' Persian Sabzevar Area Rug

A charming scalloped central medallion sits among scattered floral sprays on the faded red field. The faded red field holds scattered floral sprays in rose, blue and cream around a scalloped central medallion. The medallion has a handsome cream star at its core, blue linework and a near-black edge, with lobed pendants above and below. Blue spandrels fill the four corners, with cream and red corner pieces and vine sprays. The main border is terracotta, carrying small red and blue flower clusters along its length. Guard stripes of pink and blue triangles run outside it, and a cream zigzag stripe runs inside. The pile is worn low across much of the field and the medallion, and the foundation shows through in pale patches. It is fuller in the border. Tight drawing fills the worn spots, and the blue corners tie the red ground together. At 4'11" by 8', it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.

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.
