{"product_id":"11059-9x14-persian-handmade-kerman-vintage-rug","title":"11059 - Persian Kerman Oversized Rug 9'4\" x 14'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lovely rug centers on a long navy medallion in a wide sweep of open red. Within a deep red field, most of the ground stays plain, edged all round by camel scrolls that step in at each corner. The medallion is a long pointed oval on navy, filled with light blue blossoms around a camel core of graceful curling leaves. A handsome shield-shaped pendant caps each end, with navy at its heart. Camel spandrels fill the corners, thick with light blue leaf scrolls. The main border runs navy, set with flower sprays and camel palmettes at intervals. Guard stripes of camel and light blue run on either side, one holding a linked vine, and a narrow burgundy edge closes the outside. The pile is low, and small pale flecks show across the red field. It holds a large room well, and the navy and light blue cool all that red. At 9'4\" by 14'3\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNadir 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. In the Persian rug trade the carpets of Kerman rank first, ahead of the rugs of Hamedan. Kerman lies 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 openness: the red field is left bare around one medallion, and every outline curls, from the scrolled field edge to the pointed pendants. Light blue runs through the corners and the border, set against navy and camel. The medallion and its two pendants line up down the long center, and the navy border frames it all.\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":68014408794425,"sku":"AL_11059_284x435","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11059_1.jpg?v=1794111969","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11059-9x14-persian-handmade-kerman-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
