11039 · 7'2" x 10'2" Persian Kashan Area Rug

A lobed red medallion catches the eye first on this lovely rug. At the center, it sits on a camel field where graceful navy vines curl around palmettes and flower heads. Light blue arabesques sweep through the field between them. The medallion holds a light blue core around a rosette, ringed by large gold palmettes. A handsome red pendant sits above it, and a second one sits below. The red main border carries palmettes and rosettes in light blue and gold. Light blue guard stripes run along both sides of it, set with small flowers. The pile is low across the rug, and a few patches in the field read paler. The dense drawing gives the camel ground plenty to hold the eye, while the red border and blue guards frame it warmly. At 7'2" by 10'2", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

Every 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 & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
