{"product_id":"11165-4x6-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11165 - Persian Kashan Area Rug 3'11\" x 5'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pair of tall cypress trees stands out first on this lovely rug. On an ivory field, the two cypresses flank a vase form set over a triangle of small red flowers. Lower down, a navy and ivory ornament stands at the center with no medallion, and a ring of pretty blue rosettes spreads beneath it. Navy boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, sit on either side among flowering sprays. Near the opposite end, two square panels each hold an orange diamond. At both ends, rust lattice fills the field beyond stepped bands of navy and orange blossoms. A handsome steel blue border carries red cartouches filled with orange and ivory rosettes, with flowering sprays between them. Ivory guard stripes with small navy motifs run on both sides. The pile is low across the rug, with small pale specks in places. It reads as warm and lively, the steel blue border cooling the rust and red. At 3'11\" by 5'10\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\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. The formal Persian rug is most closely tied to the central Persian city of Kashan. Kashan rugs were made to be the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This rug shares that care, with rosettes, boteh and flowering sprays closely worked across the ivory field. Its layout moves in stages: cypress trees and a vase form at one end, two diamond panels toward the other, and rust lattice closing both ends. Red cartouches set in the steel blue border carry that order all the way around.\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":68026252394809,"sku":"AL_11165_120x177","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11165_1.jpg?v=1794181266","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11165-4x6-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
