Dusty rose carries the whole field, scattered with graceful flower sprays and small blossoms in blue, brown and pale blue green. At the medallion’s core sits a pale blue green star, set with brown and dusty rose flowers. A small lobed pendant sits above it and another below. Near-black spandrels fill the four corners, edged in scrolling leaves and lined with pale blue green. A handsome pale blue green border carries a vine of flower heads in brown, blue and near-black. Narrow guard stripes in brown and blue run along both sides of it, set with tiny flowers. The pile is low, and pale patches show across the field where it has thinned further. It holds a large room in quiet color, the dusty rose field cooled by its blue green border. At 10'6\" by 13'7\", 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, with a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. This rug keeps that plan, with a lobed near-black medallion around a pale blue green star, near-black spandrels in the four corners, and a dusty rose field scattered with flower sprays and small blossoms. The pale blue green border gives the dark medallion and corners a cool, light setting.\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":68033568899385,"sku":"AL_11257_320x415","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11257_1.jpg?v=1794262366","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11257-10x14-persian-handmade-kashan-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
