Deep red and cream give this rug a delightful contrast. On a deep red field, angular geometric motifs in cream, brown and steel blue crowd around a handsome central stepped medallion. This large medallion holds a small square core, with pendants extending to the top and bottom edges. Cream spandrels sit at each corner, carrying bold stepped shapes that mirror the center. The main border runs dark burgundy, set with steel blue and red rosettes on an angular vine. Narrow guard stripes in brown and red flank this wide band on both sides. The pile is even over the face, keeping the sharp lines of the drawing clear. It suits a room needing strong red and cream contrast, without looking heavy. At 7'5" by 11'3", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.
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
The carpets of the Heriz district were sold in the West under village names: Serapi for those in light, rather bright colors, and Gorevan for the darker ones. Walter Hawley, writing on rugs in 1913, found Gorevans large and nearly square, and often larger than the carpets of Mashhad or Tabriz. Gorevan is a village in the Heriz district of northwestern Persia. It weaves in the same language as its better-known neighbor: big angular medallions, terracotta and copper against ivory, spandrels squared off at the corners. This rug keeps the angular medallion and the squared corners, but sets them on a deep red ground with steel blue and navy accents.

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.
