Radiant Vintage Sabzevar Rug: Indigo Medallion and Madder-Dyed Field
At first glance, this piece presents the classic Sabzevar medallion, a design from the town of Sabzevar in Greater Khorasan.
The corner spandrels cleverly echo the medallion, completing the harmony of the layout.
The dye work is a standout: the blues come from natural indigo, and the field is dyed with madder root. The palette is entirely natural and admired for its depth and lasting beauty.
Origin: Sabzevar, near Mashad, Khorasan, NE Persia
Materials: Hand knotted wool pile on cotton foundation
