{"product_id":"lenkoran-rug","title":"Lenkoran Rug","description":"The source of the rug comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eOriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian, Ian Bennett, Oriental Textile Press, Aberdeen 1993, pg.160.\u003c\/strong\u003e A distinctive group of Talish rugs is named after the southeast coastal town of Lenkoran. They are distinguished primarily by their design, which consists almost always of two or more large horned medallions on the vertical axis. These medallions are derived from dragon rugs and, indeed, it requires no great leap of the imagination to see the close connection between Lenkoran medallions and the pair of outward-facing dragons flanking palmettes, after which the group of Caucasian rugs made from the late 16th to the 18th centuries is named. On later rugs of the transitional or floral type, made probably in the 18th century, this dragon and palmette arrangement has been reduced to a single outward curving white bar surrounding an octagon, almost exactly the motif associated with Lenkorans and, of course, one which, in more stylized form, can be seen at either end of the so-called Kasim-Usag rugs. The bars which are usually found between the medallions on Lenkoran rugs, and which end in a 'St. Andrew's cross' arrangement, is thus the highly stylized remains of the serrated-leaf lattice which once adorned the field of dragon rugs. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and soft colors are chosen for this rug. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  7 colors in total;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBistre Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 411 (Pomegranate - Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVenetian Gold \u003c\/strong\u003e 535 (Gall Oak)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRufous \u003c\/strong\u003e 308 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKhaki \u003c\/strong\u003e 413 (Dyer’s Weed)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoss Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 419 (Henna - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCadet Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecolors.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700735541544,"sku":"ART00450","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00450_V-scaled_v2.jpg?v=1776121555","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/lenkoran-rug","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
