{"product_id":"11226-9x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11226 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 9'2\" x 12'8\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDense brown vines cover nearly every part of this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads gray brown, though the ground under the vines is a pale rose tan. At the center, a small pale blue diamond sits inside a brown lobed medallion, with pendants above and below. Slate blue corner pieces close the four corners. The main border is brown with flower heads and leaves, between pale blue and cream guard stripes. The pile is low throughout, and the colors are muted. It reads as warm and quiet, with the blue corners adding a cool note. At 9'2\" by 12'8\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1600s, when Poland and Persia had close relations, the Polish nobility ordered many gold-threaded rugs from Kashan. When rugs of that kind were first shown at the Paris exposition of 1878, they were taken for Polish work. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug: a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. This rug has that plan: a brown lobed medallion at the center, slate blue corner pieces, and dense brown vines over nearly every part of the field. Brown, rose tan and slate blue keep the palette warm with one cool accent.\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":68031670845753,"sku":"AL_11226_280x385","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11226_1.jpg?v=1794215081","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11226-9x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
