{"product_id":"11217-10x13-persian-handmade-mahal-vintage-rug","title":"11217 - Persian Mahal Oversized Rug 9'10\" x 13'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dark blue star medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Within a beige field, graceful vines in dark blue curl around palmettes, small blossoms and leaves, with touches of rose between them. The medallion is a lobed star of scrolling arabesques, with a cream cross at its core on a salmon ground and small pendants above and below. Spandrels in the four corners hold cream quarter panels outlined in dark blue, each tipped with a solid blue cluster at the outer point. The handsome main border is dusty rose, carrying a winding vine of dark blue flower heads and cream leaves. Narrow guard stripes run on both sides of it, beige with a dark blue chain and rows of small dots. The pile is low across the rug. It settles into a dining room or a sitting area, where the beige and dusty rose keep the dark blue of the medallion calm. At 9'10\" by 13'1\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMahal is a trade name and not a town: it covers village carpets from the neighborhood of Arak. Mahal rugs come from the villages around Arak in central Persia, and they were woven large and open from the start. That means a wide field, generous spacing between the motifs, and a palette that leans soft rather than saturated. This rug keeps a soft palette, beige and dusty rose, with dark blue for the drawing. Its star medallion sits at the center, and vines spread out from it toward the corners in matching quarters. The dusty rose border carries a winding vine of dark blue flower heads around the whole field.\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":68029094003001,"sku":"AL_11217_300x400","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11217_1.jpg?v=1794190919","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11217-10x13-persian-handmade-mahal-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
