Cream Tabriz Persian Rug
This cream Tabriz Persian rug is a 460 x 315 cm piece made from wool. Its cream field holds a central medallion in blue-green and teal, surrounded by small flowers and vine scrolls in red, blue, green and gold, so the rug reads as a classic medallion design on a light ground.
The design up close
The medallion of this cream Tabriz Persian rug sits at the centre and has a pointed, lozenge-shaped outline. Its edge is a band of red and blue, and the inside is filled with blue-green and teal petals with small rosettes tucked between them. Ivory scrolls reach out from the medallion’s points into the field.
The field is covered with fine, close-set motifs: small flowers, leaves and curling stems in red, blue, green, gold and rust. Nothing in the field is large, so the eye moves from one flower to the next. Small gold accents sit among the blossoms and lift the cream ground.
The main border is wide and built from several bands. A narrow rust and red stripe sits at the outer edge, then a cream ground carries a row of teardrop and paisley-like motifs in red and blue, with rosettes between them. Thin blue and red lines frame the field on the inside.
Colour on this cream Tabriz Persian rug
Cream is the lightest tone in the rug, and the blue-green medallion is the deepest one at the centre. Red links the centre to the edges, showing in the medallion outline, the small flowers across the field and the border. Gold and mustard touches warm the cream and keep the palette balanced.
Pale rugs show crumbs and footprints more than dark ones, so vacuum this cream Tabriz Persian rug regularly. The colours sit well with timber or pale stone floors and with plain sofas in grey, white or soft blue, which lets the medallion be the busiest point in the room.
Sizing it for your room
At 460 x 315 cm the rug covers about 14.5 square metres, so a cream Tabriz Persian rug this size suits a large living room or lounge. A three-seat sofa of around 2.2 m sits on it with about 120 cm of rug showing past each end. Two armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug around a coffee table. In a dining room, a table of about 240 x 100 cm leaves roughly 110 cm of rug at each end and about 108 cm along each side, enough for chairs to slide back.
Where it suits your home
This cream Tabriz Persian rug works best when the room has space around it. Centre it under the seating so the medallion sits in the middle of the group, and keep heavy furniture off the border so the wide band can be seen. A formal living room with a sofa facing a pair of armchairs suits it well.
Looking after your rug
Vacuum it on a suction-only setting, or with the beater bar switched off, so the brush does not pull at the pile. Turn it around every six to twelve months so sun and foot traffic wear it evenly. Blot spills with a clean white cloth and cold water rather than rubbing them in. When it needs a full clean, choose a cleaner who washes handmade rugs by hand.
Put a good underlay beneath it. It stops the rug sliding on timber or tiles, adds cushioning and takes some of the wear off the pile. Moths like wool in dark, quiet spots, such as the part of a rug under a sofa, so vacuum those areas often and lift the furniture now and then.
