{"product_id":"11015-4x5-persian-handmade-bijar-vintage-rug","title":"11015 - Persian Bijar Accent Rug 3'9\" x 5'5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sky blue diamond medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Brick red carries the whole field, closely worked with herati, the fish-and-leaf lattice, in cream, sage and navy. Fan-shaped navy blossoms edged in sky blue are set across it in rows. The medallion has a stepped edge and a sky blue core of rosettes and leaves, with a small pendant above and below. Handsome sky blue spandrels fill the four corners, notched where they meet the field and carrying the same lattice. The main border is navy, carrying a graceful vine of palmettes, rosettes and sage leaves. Sage guard stripes, set with small red and cream flower heads, run on either side of it. The pile is low across the whole rug, and no bare patches show. It brings warm brick red and cool sky blue together in a small space, with navy to frame them. At 3'9\" by 5'5\", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story goes that during the Timurid invasions a body of Torkaman followed the conqueror west and settled around Bijar. Bijar weavers made a remarkable number of vagirehs, sample pieces showing portions of several patterns and borders, used as models for large carpets. Bijar lies in Kurdistan, in Persia, and its designs are geometric. This rug keeps that geometric line in its stepped diamond medallion, its notched sky blue corners and the angular herati lattice that covers the field. The small rosettes and fan-shaped blossoms are built from short, stepped lines. Its colors sit in strong contrast: brick red against sky blue at the center and in the corners, with a navy border closing the whole design.\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, approximately 60 to 100 years old. Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67936120406329,"sku":"AL_11015_115x165","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11015_1.jpg?v=1793699725","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11015-4x5-persian-handmade-bijar-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
