{"product_id":"11224-10x13-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-rug","title":"11224 - Persian Hamedan Oversized Rug 9'9\" x 12'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pale blue medallion sits quietly at the center of this lovely rug. The light gray field carries sprays of flowers and leaves in sage, gray green and pale blue. The medallion is a lobed diamond in pale blue and sage, with a flower spray above and below. Pale blue corner pieces close the four corners of the field. The wide cream border carries a scroll of blue and sage flowers, between narrow pale blue and gray guard stripes. The pile is low, and the whole rug reads in pale, quiet tones. It grounds a bright room in cream, gray and pale blue. At 9'9\" by 12'7\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreek writers credited Deioces, first king of the Medes, with founding Ecbatana around 678 BCE, and modern Hamedan is built partly on the mound that holds its remains. Avicenna, the physician and philosopher, died in Hamedan in 1037, and his tomb there was rebuilt in the 1950s as a mausoleum with a museum and a library. Hamedan is a weaving city and region in western Persia, and for generations hundreds of villages around it have sent rugs to its markets. This rug keeps its dense drawing in the border and the corners, so the open gray field reads calm. Its pale blue corners and cream border keep the whole rug light.\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":68031392219449,"sku":"AL_11224_296x383","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11224_1.jpg?v=1794213460","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11224-10x13-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
