{"product_id":"11202-8x11-persian-handmade-gabbeh-vintage-rug","title":"11202 - Persian Gabbeh Oversized Rug 7'10\" x 11'","description":"\u003cp\u003eRust and gray stripes folding into chevrons catch the eye first on this remarkable rug. The midnight field is filled with closely set diagonal stripes, which meet in a line down the middle. In place of a medallion, a beautiful camel frame dotted in dark and rust sets off a central panel, where rust leads the stripes. A charcoal bar runs down the center of that panel. Outside the field, a wide camel band carries rows of dark and rust dots. The handsome charcoal border holds a double chain of diamonds in rust and dusty rose. A narrow camel guard stripe closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the rug. It settles a large room, its camel bands and rust diamonds warm against the dark field. At 7'10\" by 11', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome early rugs of the Lur and Qashqai tribes of Fars were lion rugs, the whole field taken up by one large lion. The Qashqai confederacy of southwest Persia took shape in the 16th century and grew into the largest in the region. Gabbeh is a style rather than a place: tribal weaving from the Zagros country of southern Persia. This Persian rug is built from straight lines, dots and diamonds, with no curve anywhere in it. Its diagonal stripes meet in chevrons along the long center line of the field. Within the camel frame, rust takes the lead in the stripes, so the central panel reads warmer than the outer field. A charcoal bar marks the center of that panel. Around everything, the rust and dusty rose diamonds repeat in a steady double chain.\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":68026332479801,"sku":"AL_11202_240x335","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11202_1.jpg?v=1794185103","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11202-8x11-persian-handmade-gabbeh-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
