{"product_id":"11058-10x14-persian-handmade-kerman-vintage-rug","title":"11058 - Persian Kerman Oversized Rug 9'8\" x 14'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe navy diamond medallion is the first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug. Worked on a deep red field that reads burgundy from across the room, the design leaves wide open ground. The medallion is a long navy diamond packed with small blossoms around a pale rosette at its core. Leafy powder blue edges surround it and run out to points at the top and the bottom. A scalloped camel frame shapes the field, and graceful sprays of blue flowers reach in from its four corners. Powder blue spandrels fill the outer corners and run along the sides, strewn with small blossoms. The handsome navy main border carries a row of lobed cartouches in red and powder blue, set among flowers and scrolls. Camel guard stripes with small flowers run on either side of it. The pile is low, and small pale flecks show across the red field. It brings deep red, navy and powder blue together, a warm center held by cooler edges. At 9'8\" by 14'1\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the 16th century Kerman has been the origin of highly sophisticated carpets in well-organized designs. Nadir Shah took many of Kerman’s most skilled weavers north after 1739 and the city was pillaged in 1794, yet its rug industry continued to prosper. Kerman sits in southeastern Persia. Its drawing is curvilinear and open, with more space left empty than a Kashan or a Tabriz would allow. This rug shares that open drawing, with wide stretches of deep red left clear between the medallion and its scalloped frame. Its curving lines, from the scrolled camel frame to the leafy edges of the medallion, follow the same flowing shape. The colors are deep red, navy and powder blue, with small rose and red blossoms worked across the powder blue ground around the field.\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":68008955871545,"sku":"AL_11058_294x428","price":2675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11058_1.jpg?v=1794094956","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11058-10x14-persian-handmade-kerman-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
