{"product_id":"11045-7x10-persian-handmade-joshaghan-vintage-rug","title":"11045 - Persian Joshaghan Oversized Rug 7'3\" x 10'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA navy diamond medallion holds the center of this lovely rug. Across the burgundy field, small flowering plants and cross-shaped flower heads in navy and cream repeat in close diagonal rows. The medallion steps out in a cream sawtooth edge, with a red and cream flower at its core and a small pendant at each tip. The handsome main border runs on navy, set with red flower heads between tall cartouches in red, cream and blue. Cream guard stripes with a small red and navy repeat run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and a few pale spots show in the field. It brings deep red and navy into a dining room, and the cream outlines keep the dense pattern clear. At 7'3\" by 10'6\", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the reign of Nadir Shah the carpet weaving of the Joshaghan district received a new impulse, and it flourished until nearly the middle of the 19th century. A century before Walter Hawley wrote on rugs in 1913, the Joshaghan district was weaving some of the best carpets of Persia. Joshaghan sits north of Isfahan in central Persia, and it has woven the same design for a very long time. The field is divided into a diamond lattice, each compartment holding a small stylized flowering plant. This rug keeps that plan, its small flowering plants set in diagonal rows across the burgundy field around a single diamond medallion. Navy and cream carry the drawing, and the navy border repeats the deep tone of the medallion.\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.
