{"product_id":"11075-8x11-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11075 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 8' x 11'2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA navy border of large cream palmettes frames this remarkable rug on every side. At the center, a small round rosette in navy, cream and red sits on a deep red field that darkens toward burgundy in a few patches. Around it, palmettes in cream and steel blue repeat over the whole field, linked by graceful curling vines and leafy sprays. There is no medallion beyond that rosette. Each palmette in the navy main border is edged in red and steel blue, set between red flower heads and scrolling leaves. Several narrow guard stripes run on both sides, the widest a cream band of small red and blue flowers. The pile is low and full across the field and the borders. It settles easily under a dining table, the deep red field warm and the navy border giving it a clear edge. At 8' by 11'2\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\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 closely tied to the formal Persian rug: a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. Kashan rugs were made to be the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This rug keeps the curling vine and palmette, spread over the whole field around one small rosette. Its navy border holds a single row of large palmettes, and cream picks them out against the dark ground, as it does across the red 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":68014167916857,"sku":"AL_11075_244x340","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11075_1.jpg?v=1794110891","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11075-8x11-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
