{"product_id":"11034-6x10-persian-handmade-birjand-vintage-rug","title":"11034 - Persian Birjand Area Rug 6'5\" x 9'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA layered medallion in sage green and cream sits at the heart of this lovely rug. On a mahogany field, rows of small rosettes in ink blue and cream fill a fine diamond lattice. The lobed medallion holds a red rosette core inside bands of cream and sage green. Its outer ring carries red blossoms on ink blue, with a pendant above and below. Ink blue spandrels hold the four corners, each with graceful curling leaves in sage green and a cream patch at the outer tip. A handsome main border follows, its ink blue ground carrying red palmettes and a cream vine. Cream guard stripes with a small red repeat run on either side, and a plain red band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug, and a few patches in the field read darker. It settles a sitting area, and the sage and cream in the corners lift all that mahogany red. At 6'5\" by 9'7\", 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\u003eKhorasan has its classic carpets in those of Herat, and pieces in the herati pattern survive from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Birjand is the main weaving town of South Khorasan in eastern Persia, and its rugs are finer and more formal than most village work. The type runs to a repeating floral lattice or a centered medallion in curved lines, on a palette of madder, ivory and deep blue. This rug has both, with a fine diamond lattice of rosettes behind a lobed medallion with curved edges. Its colors keep to that palette, mahogany red, cream and ink blue. Sage green in the medallion and the corner spandrels adds a cooler note.\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.
