About this rug

The rust and cream core inside the near-black diamond medallion makes this a charming rug. Deep red carries the field, filled with delicate scrolling vines, palmettes and small flower heads in blue, gold and cream. A splendid near-black diamond medallion surrounds a rust and cream core, with pointed pendants running up and down the long axis. Near-black corner pieces hold more floral drawing, continuing the vines of the field. The wide main border runs near-black, carrying rust, red and tan palmettes among blue and cream flower heads. Cream floral bands flank this border, with a narrow light blue stripe inside them. Near the top of the field one patch has worn low, and the red reads paler there. It anchors a large seating group, the red field and near-black medallion giving it weight. At 9'8" by 12'6", 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.

About Mashhad rugs

Imam Riza, the eighth Shi’ite imam, is buried at Mashhad, and the city is a great destination of pilgrims. In 1877 the Qajar shah gave London’s South Kensington Museum 14 carpets chosen by his ministers to represent the best being woven, one of them made in Mashhad. Mashhad is the great weaving city of Khorasan in northeastern Persia, and it specialized in large formats. Its rugs show deep madder red grounds, a single dominant medallion, and borders wide enough to hold their own at scale. This piece keeps that single medallion and the wide border, with a near-black center set in the red field. Blue and cream flower heads run through both the field and the border.

The Craft

Made 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.
