A deep red field is covered with a fine all-over herati (‘mille-fleurs’) lattice of tiny leaves and blossoms, gathered around a pale hexagonal medallion with pendants, in this finely knotted Persian Sabzevar. Cream-and-red corner spandrels frame the field, and a glowing rose border of turtle palmettes completes it. It is a classic of Khorasan town weaving, prized for its density and precision.
Sabzevar rugs, from the Khorasan region of north-east Persia, are prized for their fine knotting and their durable, tightly knotted pile, hand-spun from highland wool. The rich, natural-dyed palette only mellows with age. Worked entirely by hand over many months, every motif is drawn a little differently — the honest mark of a genuine one-of-a-kind, hand-made piece, an heirloom to be handed down for generations.
