{"product_id":"11144-3x12-persian-handmade-gabbeh-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11144 - Persian Gabbeh Runner Rug 3'3\" x 12'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive stepped medallions in brick and walnut run down the center of this wonderful runner. The cream field carries them in one continuous column, each joined to the next by short bar pendants. Every medallion has a handsome stepped outline in brick edged with walnut, finished with small hooked triangles. At the center of each sits a stepped cross, brick on three of them and walnut on the other two. At one end, the cross holds an ivory core with a thin walnut cross and circle. The others hold ivory cores set with paired triangles in brick, salmon or walnut. Small rosettes in salmon, ivory and walnut sit on short stems around each cross. A beautiful sawtooth border of brick and walnut triangles on cream runs down both long sides, with smaller triangles across each end. A thin walnut guard stripe frames the field, and a broader walnut band closes each end. The pile is full and high. It settles into a long hall, where the brick and salmon bring warmth to a wide cream ground. At 3'3\" by 12'6\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome early rugs of the Lur and Qashqai tribes of Fars were lion rugs, the whole field taken up by one large lion. The Qashqai confederacy of southwest Persia took shape in the 16th century and grew into the largest in the region. Gabbeh is a style rather than a place: tribal weaving from the Zagros country of southern Persia, with a long pile. They were woven for a family’s own floor, not for sale. This runner shares that long pile and a field of one color, a broad cream ground. On it, five stepped medallions are joined end to end by short bars into one continuous column. Their cores and rosettes add ivory and salmon to the brick and walnut, and the sawtooth border repeats those two darker colors along each side.\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":68012289229113,"sku":"AL_11144_100x380","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11144_1.jpg?v=1794103254","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11144-3x12-persian-handmade-gabbeh-vintage-runner-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
