The large stepped medallion, dark brown inside, makes this a lovely rug. A deep red field is filled with charming serrated leaves and small blossoms in rose and blue. At its center sits a large stepped medallion, dark brown inside, with a cream outlined core holding a tiny rosette, and a pendant at each end. Beautiful cream corner pieces square off each corner and carry small red panels and blue flower heads. The narrow main border runs red as well, with scrolled blossoms in blue and brown, and a thin stripe of small diamonds edges the two ends. The dark brown parts of the medallion have worn lower than the red, and the weave shows through in many places. It grounds a room with its red and brown, and the cream corners let in some light. At 6' by 10', 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.
About Gorevan rugs
Heriz carpets as the trade knows them do not predate the middle of the 19th century, when they took the place of a rustic weaving made for local use. Gorevan is a village in the Heriz district of northwestern Persia, and it weaves in the language of its better-known neighbor. That means big angular medallions, spandrels squared off at the corners, and terracotta and copper set against ivory. This rug follows the plan closely, with a stepped medallion at the center and cream corner pieces cut square. It departs in color. Deep red and dark brown lead here, making this rug darker and richer than many Gorevans. The cream is kept to the corners and the ends, so those are the brightest parts.

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.
