At the center, a navy diamond medallion sits on a red field, with small navy pendants set above and below it. The medallion holds a pale blue core of tiny rosettes and vines. Cream lattice panels fill the field corners, carrying small red and green blossoms, and a slate blue piece closes each outer corner. The main border is dark blue, set with red and pale blue rosettes joined by lovely curling vine and small leaves, flanked by narrow guard stripes in tan and pink. The pile is low across the red field, where the weave shows through, while the border keeps more height. A light antique wash has softened the colors without reaching the drawing. It brings the weight of the navy medallion and the warmth of the red field into one piece. At 9'5\" by 12'7\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedallion carpet designs of the 16th century are usually associated with Tabriz, then the Safavid capital and the seat of the royal design workshops. A special court workshop, possibly at Tabriz, is credited with translating the most splendid book illuminations into carpets. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Centered medallions and borders that turn cleanly at the corners are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug keeps that centered medallion and the clean turn of the border at each corner. Its workshops used a wider palette than most, and here the red field meets navy, cream and a pale blue note in the corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOrigin: Woven in the 1970s in Tabriz, Persia, a region celebrated for its elegant Persian craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54424552145209,"sku":"CAN_1868_287x384","price":2350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/1868_1_Ozel_ff4a2d5c-8255-417e-ac32-8f583442d929.jpg?v=1788487341"},{"product_id":"5396-9x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"5396 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 9'5\" x 13'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eNear-black, cream and teal make a wonderful stepped diamond medallion. Burgundy covers the field, which is crowded with charming scrolling vines, palmettes and flower heads in gold, cream and teal. The medallion is a stepped diamond, a near-black ring around a cream core with teal, with small pendants above and below. Gorgeous cream spandrels with teal touches fill all four corners, edged in near-black. The main border has a near-black ground carrying a scroll of pink, red and cream flowers, with cream and light blue guard stripes on either side. The pile is even across the red field, with a few white specks in the near-black ground. The dense drawing holds the deep red and the bright accents together in one rich surface.

UNESCO lists the carpet weaving of Kashan as living heritage, noting that almost one in three residents works in carpet making and that most of the makers are women. The formal Persian rug is most closely tied to the central Persian city of Kashan: a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. Saturated madder reds are what old Kashans are known for. This rug keeps that saturated red, with the medallion, cream corners and vine field all in place inside a near-black border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
