{"product_id":"11056-8x11-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11056 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 7'10\" x 10'8\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cream and sky blue medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Burgundy carries the whole field, crowded with palmettes, rosettes and leafy sprays in navy, cream, sky blue and olive. The medallion is a lobed diamond, navy on the outside, with a cream ring around a sky blue core that holds a rosette. Small navy pendants reach above and below it along the length of the field. Cream spandrels edged in sky blue fill the four corners, each holding graceful curling vines. A handsome navy main border runs around it all, carrying palmettes and rosettes along a scrolling vine. Narrow cream guard stripes set with small flower heads line it on both sides. The pile is low across the rug, and the design stays clear in field and border. It reads as a warm, formal centerpiece, with the navy frame and cream corners setting off all that burgundy. At 7'10\" by 10'8\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1600s, when Poland and Persia had close relations, the Polish nobility ordered many gold-threaded rugs from Kashan. 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 every part of that plan: a lobed medallion with pendants, cream spandrels at the corners, and a burgundy field of vine and palmette. Sky blue sits at the medallion core and in each corner, a cool note against the burgundy field and the navy border.\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.
