{"product_id":"11104-6x11-persian-handmade-gharajeh-vintage-rug","title":"11104 - Persian Gharajeh Area Rug 6'1\" x 11'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarge dusty rose stars spread across the navy ground of this remarkable rug. Worked on a navy field, broad dusty rose arms cross one another to form a column of stars down the length. Each star holds a small square medallion at its core, ringed by graceful sprigs in cream and copper. Long copper cartouches run along the arms, each closed at its end by an octagonal rosette. The handsome cream border carries rows of hooked leaf forms in dusty rose and camel. Inside it, a camel band with small scattered motifs sits between dusty rose guard stripes worked with a chain of diamonds. The pile is low. It slips into a sitting room with ease, the navy ground cooling all that copper and dusty rose. At 6'1\" by 11'6\", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best-known pattern of Gharajeh is three geometric medallions, the central one with a latch-hooked outline in a different color and the other two eight-pointed stars. Britannica says the runners of Gharajeh resemble those of Karabagh in the Caucasus but look more Persian. Gharajeh, also spelled Karaja, is a village district in northwestern Persia, north of Heriz. Its signature is a column of separate medallions down a narrow field rather than a single centered one. This rug keeps that column, with each square medallion set at the heart of its own dusty rose star. The stars link arm to arm down the navy field, so the eye follows them from one end to the other. Copper cartouches and octagonal rosettes repeat on every arm, and a wide cream border frames the whole.\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":68015251521849,"sku":"AL_11104_186x350","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11104_1.jpg?v=1794126648","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11104-6x11-persian-handmade-gharajeh-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
