{"product_id":"11195-10x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11195 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 10' x 13'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe navy medallion at the center catches the eye first on this lovely rug. On a cream field, large dusty rose cartouches set with almond-shaped palmettes rise on either side, among fine flowering vines. The medallion is a stepped navy cross around a small square core in cream, dusty rose and sage. A cream pendant above it and another below each hold a dusty rose palmette. A round sage and cream rosette sits at each side of the medallion. Camel spandrels fill the four corners, each holding a handsome sage green lobed panel. The main border is navy, carrying rose and cream flower sprays on graceful curling vines. Guard stripes in cream, rose and sage run along both sides of it. The pile is low across the rug. It brings navy, dusty rose and sage into a large room, and the cream field keeps the whole face light. At 10' by 13'4\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is known of Kashan carpets from the 1600s through the 1800s; then, at the dawn of the 20th century, a large commercial production arose there. UNESCO lists the carpet weaving of Kashan as living heritage, noting that almost one in three residents works in carpet making and that most of the makers are women. The formal Persian rug is most closely tied to the central Persian city of Kashan: a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. Kashan rugs were made to be the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This rug keeps that plan, with its navy medallion, camel spandrels and a cream field of curling vine and palmette. Its navy border repeats the color of the medallion, so dark blue frames the softer rose and sage at the center.\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":68026229293369,"sku":"AL_11195_306x406","price":2725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11195_1.jpg?v=1794180210","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11195-10x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
