5094 · 6'8" x 10'7" Persian Vist Oversized Rug

At the middle of this lovely rug sits a lobed medallion with an olive and gold core. Set within a deep red field, bouquets in small urns, scattered blossoms and leafy sprays in cream, blue and olive surround the center. At the middle sits a lobed medallion, near-black at its edge, with an olive and gold core and a pendant above and another below. Splendid blue spandrels sit in every corner, each holding a large cream palmette and a scatter of blossoms. The main border has a navy ground, filled with red and cream flower heads, palmettes and rosettes. Wide ochre guard bands edge the border on both sides, with a narrow blue and cream zigzag stripe inside. The pile is full, with a few small low spots in the field. On wood floors, the blue corners and the navy frame temper the red. At 6'8" by 10'7", 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.
