{"product_id":"11049-7x11-persian-handmade-joshaghan-vintage-rug","title":"11049 - Persian Joshaghan Oversized Rug 7'3\" x 10'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA navy diamond medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Deep red carries the whole field, divided into a diamond lattice where each compartment holds a small flowering plant in navy, cream or red. The medallion has a stepped cream outline and a small red core ringed by gold blossoms, with a short pendant above and below. Handsome navy spandrels fill the four corners, edged in cream and holding red flowering plants and gold leafy sprays. The splendid main border has a black cherry ground carrying red and cream hooked panels, with touches of gold. Cream guard stripes set with small red rosettes run on either side of the border. The pile is low. It reads as warm red from across a room, cooled by the navy at the center and in each corner. At 7'3\" by 10'10\", 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 lattice whole, with serrated cream diamonds set between navy and red plants across the deep red ground. From across a room, it is pattern rather than picture. A navy medallion with gold blossoms sits over the center, and navy corners with gold sprays close the field at each end.\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.
