11040 · 7' x 9'10" Persian Kashan Area Rug

Curling blue leaves sweep across the salmon ground of this lovely Persian rug. At the center, a small pale star sits within four blue leaves on a salmon field that turns camel in broad patches. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, set with palmettes, curling vines and small crosses. Lobed palmettes ringed in near-black are spaced in rows on either side of the center. A handsome main border has a near-black ground, carrying large cream and camel palmettes linked by a scrolling vine. Cream guard stripes run on either side, each with a wavy vine and small blue rosettes. The pile is low across the face, and the foundation shows through at the paler center. It grounds a room in salmon and camel, and the near-black border gives the warm field a clear frame. At 7' by 9'10", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.

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.
