{"product_id":"11149-10x13-persian-handmade-najafabad-vintage-rug","title":"11149 - Persian Najafabad Oversized Rug 10'2\" x 12'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ivory medallion at the center of this lovely rug glows against its deep red ground. Worked on a deep red field, graceful vines curl in wide spirals, set with flowers in light blue and navy. The medallion is a lobed ivory diamond with a red core laced in navy scrolls, and small pendants sit above and below it. Navy spandrels with stepped edges hold the four corners, and ivory set with red flowers fills each outer tip. The handsome blue border carries red and ivory palmettes on a scrolling vine. Ivory guard stripes of small red and navy rosettes run on either side of it. The pile is low, and a few patches in the field have worn lower still. It settles a big room with ease, the blue border and light blue flowers cooling all that red. At 10'2\" by 12'6\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the second quarter of the 20th century carpet weaving was revived in Isfahan, and it expanded rapidly on exports made for the European market. Najafabad sits just west of Isfahan in central Persia, and its workshops wove in the Isfahan manner at a more practical scale. That means centered medallions, curling vine and corner spandrels, in room sizes for everyday use. The palette is classic Persian, madder red with ivory and indigo. This rug has all of them: an ivory medallion at the center, vines curling across the red, and navy spandrels in each corner. A wide blue border sets a cooler frame around that warm 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":68026168410425,"sku":"AL_11149_310x382","price":3600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11149_1.jpg?v=1794178087","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11149-10x13-persian-handmade-najafabad-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
