{"product_id":"11006-7x10-persian-handmade-nain-vintage-rug","title":"11006 - Persian Nain Area Rug 6'7\" x 9'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA round medallion ringed with points sits at the heart of this lovely rug. The denim field is filled with curling vines, palmettes and small blossoms in cream, tan and navy. The medallion holds rings of light blue, navy and cream around a tan core of petals, and a lobed cream pendant sits above and below it. Handsome cream spandrels fill the four corners with light blue scrolling vines, each holding a small palmette. The cream main border carries a graceful navy vine scroll set with palmettes and flower heads. Tan guard stripes on either side run a light blue scroll and small blossoms. One patch beside a lower spandrel has worn low, where the foundation shows and the blue reads paler. It settles into a light room, its denim and cream keeping the floor cool and calm. At 6'7\" by 9'10\", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarpet weaving was revived in Isfahan in the second quarter of the 20th century and expanded rapidly, making carpets for the European market. By the middle of the 20th century Nain was producing carpets of the Isfahan kind in an extremely fine weave. Near Isfahan, Nain sits on the edge of the central desert. Unlike most Persian weaving towns, Nain built its reputation in the twentieth century rather than centuries earlier. Its palette is unusually pale for Persia, with soft blue and closely worked vines. This rug has those closely worked vines, curling through the field, the spandrels and the border alike, and its cream border keeps the whole palette light. Its medallion is built in rings, with navy diamonds set against light blue and cream around a tan center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
