4420 · 9'10" x 13'3" Persian Kashan Oversized Rug

The near-black medallion with an ivory core and a pale blue center is the place to start describing this lovely rug. Graceful scrolling vines and small blossoms in ivory, steel blue and gold crowd the deep red field. A large lobed near-black medallion with an ivory core and a pale blue center rests in the middle, its pendants extending up and down. Handsome ivory spandrels with touches of pale blue occupy each corner, edged in near-black. The main border is aubergine, with palmettes and rosettes in red, gold and cream. Guard stripes of steel blue and ivory run along either edge of the broad frame. Pile runs low in spots over the face, and there the red reads paler. It grounds a large floor, the deep red set off by the aubergine frame and ivory corners. At 9'10" by 13'3", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.

Every 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.
