Gilded Star Medallion Tabriz, Hand-Knotted Pakistani Wool Rug

Opulent and full of movement, this rug scatters a constellation of glowing gold medallions across a deep black ground. Rather than a single centre, several large star-shaped medallions — each a burst of gold petals around a red-and-ivory heart — sit among pendant motifs and a dense web of floral tracery. The dark field makes the gold blaze, giving the whole rug a jewelled, ceremonial richness.

A broad ivory-and-gold border of bold palmettes and scrolling vines frames the field, accented with garnet red and touches of navy and sage. Gold is unmistakably the keynote — it crowns every medallion and fills the border — while the black ground gives the design depth and drama, and the red and green details bring the flowers to life up close.

Hand-knotted on a cotton foundation with the tight double knot, the rug shows the dense knotting and elaborate, controlled drawing of a genuinely fine weave. Its black-and-gold palette is regal and warm at once, a natural centrepiece for a living room, dining room, or study. As a one-of-a-kind handmade piece, no other rug shares its exact colours, drawing, or character.
