{"product_id":"11244-10x12-persian-handmade-nain-vintage-rug","title":"11244 - Persian Nain Oversized Rug 9'6\" x 12'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dusty rose and steel blue medallion holds the center of this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads gray beige, filled with fine vines, palmettes and small flower heads. The handsome medallion is lobed and steel blue, with a dusty rose diamond and a burgundy flower at its core. A small pendant sits above it and another below. Beyond the scalloped edge of the field, steel blue and cream fill the corners, each holding a small burgundy cross. The beautiful main border is cream, carrying dark rosettes and dusty rose diamonds along a trail of vines. Several narrow guard stripes of leaves and blossoms frame it on both sides, picked out in steel blue. The pile is low overall, and a few pale patches along the outer border have worn lower. The dense drawing suits a calm dining room, the steel blue and dusty rose cool against the pale ground. At 9'6\" by 12'6\", 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 second quarter of the 20th century carpet weaving was revived in Isfahan, and it expanded rapidly on exports made for the European market. Nain sits on the edge of the central desert near Isfahan. It is one of the few Persian towns whose weaving reputation was built in the twentieth century rather than centuries earlier. The palette is unusually pale for Persia: ivory grounds with soft blue, and closely worked vines. This rug shares that pale palette, with a gray beige field, steel blue around the medallion and vines worked closely across every part of it. Its border repeats the field’s colors, setting dark rosettes and dusty rose diamonds along a cream ground between narrow guard stripes.\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.
