5617 · 8'5" x 11' Persian Kashan Oversized Rug

At the center, a diamond medallion of near-black makes this a charming rug. Worked on a burgundy field, graceful trailing vines carry tan, gray and blue leaf forms and small pink flower heads. At the center, a diamond medallion of near-black surrounds a cream core and a gray-blue flower, its pendants pointing up and down the field. The four corners are near-black, each with a small cream and gray piece at the tip. Olive-sage scrolls on the beautiful near-black main border hold red and pink flower heads and gray-blue blossoms. On each side of the border run guard stripes in gray-blue, cream and red. A band across the middle of the field has worn low, the red reads paler there, and pale specks dot the main border. The near-black border frames the paler band around a deep red center, suited to a spacious room. At 8'5" by 11', 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.
