{"product_id":"11022-3x10-persian-handmade-shiraz-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11022 - Persian Shiraz Runner Rug 3'1\" x 9'8\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA column of navy and cream diamond medallions runs down the center of this lovely runner. Within a deep red field that reads burgundy from across the room, small flower heads, sprays and triangular plant forms are scattered on every side. The stepped medallions alternate in color, each holding a red hooked cross around a small diamond core. At each end the red narrows to a stepped point, and navy spandrels hold a handsome round rosette in each corner. The main border is cream, set with a graceful vine of dark red flower heads and diamonds. Inside it runs a navy band of paired boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, in cream, red and teal along a thin stem. Narrow red guard stripes edge both bands. The pile is low across the rug. It brings a long line of red and navy into a passage, and the cream border keeps its edges light. At 3'1\" by 9'8\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShiraz was the capital of Persia from 1760 to 1779, in the reign of Karim Khan. The Qashqai tribal confederacy was formed in the late 18th century, during or just after the rule of Karim Khan Zand in Shiraz. Shiraz is the market city of Fars province in southern Persia, and rugs sold under its name were woven by the tribal and village weavers of the surrounding country. The drawing is geometric, and no two are laid out quite the same way. This runner keeps that geometric drawing, with stepped diamond medallions, stepped spandrels and small plant forms set square in the red. Its own layout strings the medallions in a single column, navy and cream in turn, closed at each end by a stepped point.\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. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68014057685305,"sku":"AL_11022_95x295","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11022_1.jpg?v=1794108721","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11022-3x10-persian-handmade-shiraz-vintage-runner-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
