11167 · 6'6" x 9'10" Persian Kashan Area Rug

A scalloped red medallion is the first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug. At the center, it rests on a cream field strewn with small flowers, leafy sprays and fine curling vines in red and brown. Inside its deep red lobes, an olive frame holds a dark brown star with a pale floral rosette at its core. Lobed pendants with red cores reach up and down the field, each closed by a small palmette. Beautiful red spandrels fill the four corners, each tipped with a cream cartouche. A handsome camel border carries arched vines and red blossoms between narrow guard stripes of tiny flowers. The pile is low across the rug. It suits a room of dark wood and brass, where the deep red and camel read warm and settled. At 6'6" by 9'10", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.

Every 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 & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
