{"product_id":"red-ivory-persian-khorasan-floral-medallion-rug-385x295cm","title":"Red \u0026 Ivory Persian Khorasan Floral Medallion Rug 385 × 295 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eA richly detailed handmade Persian Khorasan rug featuring a traditional floral medallion composition. A large, ornate central medallion structured in cream, ivory and blue forms the focal point against the rich red field. Dense scrolling floral vines, palmettes and stylised blossoms extend throughout the field, while contrasting cream corner spandrels and multiple decorative floral borders create an elaborate frame around the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich red unquestionably dominates the rug, covering the majority of the main field and substantial areas of the border. Cream and ivory provide the principal contrast, particularly within the central medallion, corner spandrels and finer border details. Additional accents of navy and royal blue, golden yellow, ochre, olive green, brown, light blue, grey-blue and subtle teal bring further depth to the intricate design. Handmade in Iran with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this approximately 50-year-old Persian rug has an authentic time-worn character that reflects its age, traditional craftsmanship and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 385 × 295cm, this substantial rug is particularly well suited beneath a six-seater rectangular dining table, where its generous proportions can accommodate the dining chairs while still allowing areas of the field and decorative border to remain visible. It would also work beautifully in a formal living room or large lounge. Its rich colouring and naturally aged character make it particularly complementary to dark timber, antique furniture, farmhouses, safari lodges and interiors featuring vintage or collected pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRug Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRug Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Persian Khorasan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wool pile on a cotton foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 385 × 295cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rectangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral Medallion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePredominant Colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red and Cream \/ Ivory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Navy Blue \/ Royal Blue, Golden Yellow \/ Ochre, Olive Green, Brown, Light Blue \/ Grey-Blue and Teal \/ Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refurbished with age-related wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSale Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Auction — one unique piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAge, Condition \u0026amp; Refurbishment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe appeal of these older handmade rugs lies in their authentic aged character. Unlike a new rug, each piece carries the natural characteristics of decades of use, including areas of wear, variations in colour and texture, fading and other signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe degree of wear varies from rug to rug. Some pieces may display considerably more worn areas than others, and this is reflected in the individual rug's condition and auction pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach rug has been professionally cleaned and refurbished as far as reasonably possible, while preserving its original character and naturally aged appearance. Where required, refurbishment may also include repairs or restoration to areas such as the fringes, edges or foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefurbishment does not mean that the rug has been restored to an as-new condition. Areas of wear, previous repairs, variations in texture, fading and other age-related characteristics may remain visible and form part of the rug's individual character and appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese time-worn handmade rugs are particularly popular in farmhouses, safari lodges, luxury tented camps and interiors featuring antique, vintage or collected furniture. Older rugs of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to source, making each one an individual piece with its own history, colouring, pattern and degree of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore Bidding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product photographs carefully before placing a bid. The photographs shown are of the actual rug being auctioned and provide the best representation of its individual condition, colouring and degree of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer the uniform appearance and finish of a new rug, the naturally worn character of these older handmade rugs may not be suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional photographs or videos can be requested should you wish to examine the rug more closely. The rug may also be viewed in person at Heriz Gallery, Unit 1, The Straight Shopping Centre, 78 The Straight Avenue, Fourways, prior to bidding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: Measurements are approximate due to the handmade nature and age of these rugs. Slight variations in dimensions, shape and symmetry may occur. Colours may also appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography and individual screen settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach auction rug is a one-of-a-kind piece offered in its existing refurbished condition as represented in the product photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heriz Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67597117882734,"sku":"60158","price":19980.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1669\/1310\/files\/hg-60158-1.jpg?v=1790697939","url":"https:\/\/herizgallery.co.za\/products\/red-ivory-persian-khorasan-floral-medallion-rug-385x295cm","provider":"Heriz Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
