{"product_id":"11232-11x15-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-rug","title":"11232 - Persian Hamedan Oversized Rug 11'6\" x 15'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single navy medallion floats at the center of this lovely rug. Across a pale gray brown field, the ground is left open, a quiet expanse around the center. The medallion is a long navy hexagon, closely worked with rows of small rose and gold flowers. A fine stem runs from each tip to a small rosette and a handsome tulip-shaped pendant. Navy spandrels with stepped edges fill the four corners, worked with the same small flowers. A beautiful main border carries a chain of hooked diamonds and lozenges in rose, gold and navy. A narrow rose guard stripe edges the field, and navy guard stripes with small flower heads run on either side of the border. Beyond them, a wide camel band frames the whole rug. The pile is low across the rug, and the field shows faint darker patches in places. It slips into a large dining room, where the open gray brown center lets the navy and rose border carry the color. At 11'6\" by 15', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHamedan has had many names: Hangmatana or Agbatana to the Medes, and Ecbatana to the Greeks. Ecbatana, the ancient city beneath Hamedan, fell to Cyrus the Great in 550 BCE and to Alexander the Great in 330 BCE. Hamedan is a city and weaving region in western Persia, and hundreds of villages around the city have sent rugs to its markets for generations. This rug builds its whole design from a few clear parts: an open field, a single medallion, four stepped corners and a busy border. The color gathers at the center and the edges, and the field between them stays quiet. A wide camel band runs around the outside, a broad plain frame for the rose, gold and navy border inside it.\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":68028156707129,"sku":"AL_11232_350x458","price":9000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11232_1.jpg?v=1794188010","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11232-11x15-persian-handmade-hamedan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
