{"product_id":"11040-7x10-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11040 - Persian Kashan Area Rug 7' x 9'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eCurling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1600s, when Poland and Persia had close relations, the Polish nobility ordered many gold-threaded rugs from Kashan. When rugs of that kind were first shown at the Paris exposition of 1878, they were taken for Polish work. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug and its field of curling vine and palmette. This rug is the all-over type, its pattern repeating across the whole field. The curling vine and palmette are all there, with long blue leaves curving between them. Its near-black border frames the salmon and camel field with large palmettes and a scrolling vine, set between cream guard stripes.\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":68008747368761,"sku":"AL_11040_214x300","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11040_1.jpg?v=1794092909","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11040-7x10-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
