{"product_id":"11200-5x7-persian-handmade-vist-vintage-rug","title":"11200 - Persian Vist Area Rug 5'5\" x 7'5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA red hexagonal medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Within a midnight field, red stepped forms reach in from the sides holding little trees, and small stars dot the ground between them. The central medallion is a hexagon with a serrated red frame and a sky blue core of red flower heads around a gold center. A red diamond medallion with a sky blue and gold core sits above it and another below, each closed by a small pendant. Red spandrels fill the four corners, holding hooked motifs, small cartouches and gold boteh, the paisley leaf-drop. The handsome deep red border carries gold rosettes between sky blue and gold leaf forms. Gold guard stripes set with small red blossoms run on either side. The pile is low. It settles a quiet corner with deep red and midnight, while the gold and sky blue keep the center bright. At 5'5\" by 7'5\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn nearby Golpayegan, the Friday Mosque has a Seljuk dome chamber dated by its mihrab inscription to 1114 to 1115. A study calls the Vist rug the best-known rug of the country south and southwest of Golpayegan. Vist is one of the smaller village names in the Persian weaving map. Rugs like this were woven in small numbers for local use rather than for export. What they share is straightforward geometry. This rug shows it clearly, with a hexagon and two diamonds set in a line down the midnight field, framed by stepped red forms reaching in from either side. Its border carries rounder shapes, with gold rosettes and sky blue leaf forms set on deep red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
