An ivory field carrying five medallions rather than one: a small star medallion at the exact centre in green and blue, with four much larger rosette medallions set around it, one to each quarter. Scrolling arabesque, palmettes and small boteh forms fill the ground between them. A wide sandy-beige border of compartmented floral panels frames the whole, with several narrow guard bands and cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. The palette runs to ivory, sandy beige, wine, pale blue and green, held to the restricted Nain range. At 199×234cm this is a wide, near-square room rug — an unusual proportion worth measuring for, since it will sit differently from a standard rectangle. The ivory ground is elegant but will show traffic more readily than a dark rug would.
