{"product_id":"11167-6x10-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11167 - Persian Kashan Area Rug 6'6\" x 9'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\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. In the 1600s, when Poland and Persia had close relations, the Polish nobility ordered many gold-threaded rugs from Kashan. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug, with a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. This rug keeps that formal plan, with one lobed medallion, pendants on its long axis and red spandrels at all four corners. Its cream field carries small flowers and fine vines from edge to edge. The camel border repeats a row of arches, each holding a red blossom.\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.
