4549 · 4'2" x 7'3" Persian Baluch Area Rug

Five stepped diamond medallions run down the center of this lovely rug. Set in a cream field, a column of five stepped diamond medallions runs down the center in deep red with near-black outlines. Each medallion holds a small geometric core, and serrated red edges step out against the pale ground. Small checkered diamonds fill the cream spaces beside the main shapes. A wide deep red border carries bold near-black hooked figures, with narrow zigzag and dotted stripes on either side of it. The field has worn lower in a few patches, with white flecks showing in the cream. It grounds a reading corner, and the bright cream center keeps the heavy red border from weighing the rug down. At 4'2" by 7'3", 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.
