A brick red field carrying a dense all-over Shah Abbasi design: large fan-shaped palmettes, long curved serrated leaves sweeping in arcs, and rosettes, all carried on a fine scrolling vine and worked in cream, gold, teal, salmon and dark brown. There is no medallion and no centre — the repeat runs the length of the rug. A wide border of palmettes and rosettes on the same brick ground frames the field, with narrow sawtooth guards either side. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool at a fine gauge. The design is mirrored down the long axis rather than repeated across it, so the two halves answer each other while the pattern moves continuously along the length. At 78×336cm this is a long runner, suited to a corridor or a hallway. A brick red ground is among the more forgiving colours for a rug that gets daily use.
