5062 · 8'10" x 12'8" Persian Birjand Oversized Rug

The herati repeat on the dark blue field is charming. A dark blue field holds a herati repeat, the fish-and-leaf lattice that signals abundance, with rosettes and curved leaves in brown, red and cream. At the center, a beautiful cream diamond medallion steps inward to a dark blue hexagon at the core. Slate blue triangles fill the corners. Around them runs a wide main border in a mid blue, with lovely red paisley leaves, brown blossoms and pointed cartouches between cream guard stripes dotted in brown. The dark field is worn low in places, which gives it a soft, smoky depth, while the red in the border stays bright. It grounds a room the way a dark wood floor does, and the cream diamond gives the eye somewhere to rest. At 8'10" by 12'8", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.

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.
