{"product_id":"11219-10x13-persian-handmade-mahal-vintage-rug","title":"11219 - Persian Mahal Oversized Rug 9'6\" x 12'11\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA blue-ringed medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads beige, scattered with blue blossoms and vines in gray brown and cream. The cream medallion is a lobed diamond, its blue scrolling ring set around a beige core, with small pendants above and below. Clusters of blue blossoms fill the spandrels at the four corners. A handsome cream main border carries blue palmettes along a graceful scrolling vine, with camel leaves between them. Narrow camel guard stripes, set with small cream rosettes and fine blue lines, run on either side. The pile is low across the rug, and pale specks show where the foundation comes through. The dense drawing settles a room in quiet beige and cream, with touches of blue to lift it. At 9'6\" by 12'11\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe biggest exporter of oriental carpets from Persia in the late 19th century was the Ziegler company of Arak, the town then called Sultanabad. Woven in the villages around Arak in central Persia, Mahal rugs were large and open from the start, with a palette that leans soft rather than saturated. This rug keeps to that soft side, a beige field with cream and blue, scattered with blue blossoms on gray brown vines. Its cream medallion with a blue scrolling ring holds the center, and clusters of blue blossoms fill the corners. The cream border carries blue palmettes on a scrolling vine.\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":68030362550585,"sku":"AL_11219_290x394","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11219_1.jpg?v=1794191282","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11219-10x13-persian-handmade-mahal-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
