{"product_id":"4003-4x6-persian-handmade-kashmar-vintage-rug","title":"4003 - Persian Kashmar Area Rug 3'8\" x 6'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA diamond medallion with a tan and mauve core sits at the center of this lovely rug. Scrolling vines, palmettes and rosettes in blue, olive, cream and pink fill the burgundy field, which reads a rich crimson. A diamond medallion at the center has a tan and mauve core framed by dark plum lobes, with pendants above and below. Dark plum corner pieces with tan scrollwork fill the four corners, crowded with delicate floral sprays. The main border is a clear blue carrying cream and pink flower heads joined by brown stems, set between narrow cream and pink guard stripes. The pile is low in a few spots, with small flecks where the foundation shows across the field. It holds a sitting area together, and the blue border cools the crimson. At 3'8\" by 6'3\", it fits an entry, a hallway or the space beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Textile Museum in Washington names Sabzevar, Herat, Mashhad and Dorokhsh among the Khorasan cities cited as sources of fine carpets. The Herat carpets are the classic carpets of Khorasan, and pieces in the herati pattern survive from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Kashmar is in the Khorasan region of eastern Persia, and its workshops worked on a large scale. A taste for pictorial and garden designs, wide fields and generous borders sets it apart from the medallion tradition further west. This rug keeps the wide field, where a garden of vines and flowers spreads across the ground. Instead of a pictorial scene, this rug features a formal diamond medallion and four corner pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54201243205945,"sku":"CAN_4003_111x191","price":945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/4003__10288685252921__45527596597561.png?v=1788430247","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/4003-4x6-persian-handmade-kashmar-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
