Antique Northwest Persian Charmer Joyfully Pulls Together Entire Room
When we can assist a client in finding the ideal rug for a room, we are as thrilled as they are, especially when difficult-to-find dimensions are required, in this case, 7ft x 9ft. Rugs such as this were crafted on the village level under an ethos of joyful spontaneity, oftentimes in simultaneous homage to more formal city carpets. Drawing on both traditions and with superb proportions, this handsome weaving serves to amplify this Oakland, California home’s joie de vivre. Its exotic yet harmonious color palette creates an instant affinity with the adjacent furnishings and has already become one of the family. With an eye towards fitness evident from the exercise bike in the upper right corner of the image, the owners of this rug will likely find their cardio experience far more enjoyable in the presence of this 19th-century Northwest Persian gem. Of course, it can also be appreciated at leisure as the masterful color juxtapositions and seamless pattern reveal their beguiling nuances every day.
