Over a tan field, graceful curling vines carry navy, pale blue and camel blossoms, with small palmettes set among the scrolls. The medallion is a lobed diamond with a cream core and a rosette, a flower seen from above, and short navy pendants sit above and below it. The tan ground forms a large shaped panel, framed by navy corners filled with scrolling leaves. Pale blue spandrels sit at the four corners of the field. The handsome navy main border carries camel palmettes on a winding vine, flanked by cream guard stripes with small blossoms. The pile is low across the whole rug, and the design stays clear. It slips into a room of warm wood and blue linen, the tan and navy keeping each other quiet. At 10'2\" by 13'10\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is known of Kashan carpets from the 1600s through the 1800s; then, at the dawn of the 20th century, a large commercial production arose there. UNESCO lists the carpet weaving of Kashan as living heritage, noting that almost one in three residents works in carpet making and that most of the makers are women. 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. These were made as the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This rug keeps that whole plan, with a navy medallion, pale blue spandrels and a tan field of curling vine and palmette. Its colors stay in two families, tan and camel against navy and pale blue, and the main border carries the same navy.\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.
