{"product_id":"11026-5x5-persian-handmade-bijar-vintage-rug","title":"11026 - Persian Bijar Area Rug 5' x 5'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe pale blue medallion at the heart of this lovely rug draws the eye first. From across a room the field reads rust, filled with a herati lattice of small rosettes and curled leaves. At the center sits a handsome hexagonal medallion with a pale blue ground, a navy core and a cream pendant above and below. Large navy spandrels fill the four corners, stepped along their inner edge, outlined in pale blue and set with rosettes. The beautiful navy main border carries teal and cream flower heads joined by curling leaves. Rust guard stripes with small cream flowers run on either side of it. The pile is low and covers the field and borders in full. It settles into a warm room, where the rust and navy meet that cool pale blue center. At 5' by 5'3\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBijar weavers made a remarkable number of vagirehs, sample pieces showing portions of several patterns and borders, used as models for large carpets. Bijar in Kurdistan has long been called the iron rug of Persia, and its designs are geometric. This rug keeps that geometry clearly. The medallion is a crisp hexagon, the spandrels step inward in straight stairs, and the herati lattice sits on a grid of small diamonds. The rug is close to square, so the medallion holds the true center with open field around it on every side. Navy frames the whole design twice, once in the corners and once in the border, around the rust and pale blue at its heart.\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":68025913540921,"sku":"AL_11026_153x160","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11026_1.jpg?v=1794174971","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11026-5x5-persian-handmade-bijar-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
