{"product_id":"11248-10x13-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","title":"11248 - Persian Kashan Oversized Rug 10' x 13'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe powder blue medallion at the center of this lovely rug catches the eye first. From across a room the field reads dusty rose, filled with graceful sprays of small blossoms in blue, charcoal and gray brown. The handsome medallion is a lobed powder blue diamond with a charcoal ring inside it. A small blue rosette, a flower seen from above, sits at its core, and a pendant hangs at the top and the bottom. Powder blue spandrels fill the four corners, edged by a scalloped charcoal line and scattered with small flowers. The main border has a powder blue ground and carries a charcoal vine with flower heads in blue and gray brown. Narrow charcoal guard stripes, set with rows of small dots, run along both sides of it. The pile is low over the whole rug. The dense drawing lays cool powder blue and charcoal over the dusty rose, a calm base for a gray sofa or brass lamps. At 10' by 13'3\", 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. 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 formal plan, with a lobed medallion at the center, pendants above and below, and powder blue spandrels in all four corners. Its field carries flowering sprays and small blossoms, set in mirrored rows around the medallion. Dusty rose, powder blue and charcoal run through the whole rug, and the same powder blue returns in the main border.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
