A chain of compartments runs down the center of this lovely rug. Deep red fills the end panels and the side areas, and a chain of compartments runs down the center. Two cream hexagonal medallions carry pretty near-black leaf motifs, set between near-black panels holding red blocks and tan medallions. Green corner areas at both ends hold small red and cream blocks. The main border is dark brown, carrying stepped motifs in cream, rust, red and blue. Narrow diagonal guard stripes in cream, rust and blue sit between the field and the border. A few patches have worn low, and white specks mark where the foundation shows. It holds the deep red panels and the beautiful dark brown frame together in a structured garden layout. At 3'7" by 8'4", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a 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.
