{"product_id":"11242-10x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11242 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 10' x 13'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eSage green corners and a scrolling camel border frame this lovely rug. Graceful sage vines and small dark teal flower heads cover the light brown field, with camel and gold between them. At the center sits a round medallion of vine scrolls around a teal rosette, a flower seen from above, with a small palmette pendant above and below it. Sage green spandrels fill all four corners, closely worked with vines and leaves. The handsome main border has a camel ground and carries a chain of vine scrolls, each holding a dark teal blossom. Narrow guard stripes of small gold flower heads on sage run along both sides of it. The pile is low across the rug. It holds a large room with quiet warmth, the sage corners cooling the camel and gold. At 10' by 13'6\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story goes that the three Wise Men of the East set out from Kashan to follow the Star of Bethlehem. In the 1600s, when Poland and Persia had close relations, the Polish nobility ordered many gold-threaded rugs from Kashan. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug, with a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. This rug keeps that plan, with a round medallion of vine scrolls around a teal rosette, sage green spandrels mirrored in all four corners, and sage vines curling across the light brown field. The camel border carries a steady chain of vine scrolls, each holding a dark teal blossom.\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.
