A column of tall cream panels fills the field of this charming rug. The faded red field holds a column of tall cream panels filled with chevron lines in tan and brown, each framed by a stepped brown outline. Splendid octagonal guls in cream, gray and red sit in the red spaces between the panels, with small teal stars at the panel corners. A cream border holds a dainty scroll of red blossoms, set inside narrow stripes of navy, orange and cream. Pile runs low through the middle of the rug, with the foundation showing where it is palest. The cream and tan panels ease the strong red around them. At 3'6" by 8'8", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a 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.
About Ghoochan rugs
Most people of Ghoochan descend from a tribe of Za’faranlu Kurds whom Shah Abbas I resettled there in the 17th century. They guarded the frontier, and in return lived under their own hereditary leader, exempt from all tribute. Ghoochan sits in the north of Khorasan in eastern Persia, close to the Turkmen country, and the weaving shows it. You get the repeating geometric figures of the northeast rather than the curves of the Persian center, worked in madder red and dark blue. This runner keeps those repeating figures in its octagonal guls and stepped panel outlines. Small teal stars at the corners of the chevron panels add detail to the red and cream layout.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
