{"product_id":"11047-8x11-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11047 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 7'9\" x 11'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cream and navy medallion holds the center of this lovely rug. Curling vines, palmettes and flower heads fill the burgundy field, picked out in cream, pink and sky blue. The medallion is a lobed diamond, a cream ring around a sky blue core, framed in navy, with a navy pendant above and below. Cream spandrels sit in navy corners, filled with pink and sky blue blossoms. The handsome navy border carries large rosettes and palmettes on a running vine. Guard stripes of cream and sky blue, each set with small flowers, run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and the burgundy reads paler in a few patches of the upper field. It brings deep burgundy warmth to a room, and the navy border and cream corners give it a clear frame. At 7'9\" by 11', 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\u003eThe story goes that the three Wise Men of the East set out from Kashan to follow the Star of Bethlehem. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug, with a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. These rugs were made as the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This rug keeps the whole formal plan: the lobed medallion with its pendants, cream spandrels in all four corners, and curling vine and palmette across the burgundy field. Its navy border is wide and closely worked, with large rosettes strung along a vine between two flowered guard stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
