{"product_id":"11225-9x11-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-rug","title":"11225 - Persian Hamedan Oversized Rug 8'6\" x 11'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eRich fuchsia is the first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug. Fuchsia carries the whole field, set with a close repeat of small flower heads, leaf sprays and stepped vines in near-black and aubergine. At the center sits a handsome stepped, lobed medallion in a paler pink, holding an aubergine diamond core, with a pendant above and below. A wide near-black band dotted with small pink flower heads follows the stepped outline of the field, and beautiful pink spandrels fill the four corners. The main border carries stepped geometric motifs on a pink ground. Narrow guard stripes of small rosettes on aubergine and plum run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and small pale flecks show through in the field and the borders. It settles beside dark wood and pale walls, letting the fuchsia glow against its near-black outlines. At 8'6\" by 11'4\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcbatana, the ancient city under Hamedan, was the capital of Media and later the summer residence of the Achaemenid kings. Hamedan was the capital of the Seljuq sultans for 50 years, from the second half of the 12th century. Hundreds of villages around the western Persian city of Hamedan have sent rugs to its markets for generations. This rug has a bold, geometric layout, with a stepped medallion set inside a stepped field and a dense repeat of small flowers and leaves all around it. Its whole face reads in one family of color, fuchsia, pink, plum and aubergine, with near-black giving the outlines. Several bands frame the field, from narrow rosette stripes to a wider band of stepped motifs.\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":68031655051577,"sku":"AL_11225_260x345","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11225_1.jpg?v=1794214766","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11225-9x11-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
