{"product_id":"11009-7x10-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","title":"11009 - Persian Torkaman Area Rug 7'2\" x 9'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA slate blue lattice of stepped diamonds runs across this lovely rug. Over a slate blue field, camel and muted pink diamonds alternate, with the blue bands between them set on the diagonal. Each camel diamond holds a small muted pink cross, ringed in cream and dotted with dark brown. Each pink diamond holds a camel cross outlined in dark brown, with hooked points. The pattern repeats across the whole field, with no medallion. The handsome border is laid on camel, its main band set with dark brown four-point stars and muted pink rosettes in turn. Narrow guard stripes of dark brown and cream dashes flank it, and an outer band of muted pink and cream closes the edge. The low pile is full across the field and the border. It settles a room in quiet slate blue and camel, with the muted pink adding warmth. At 7'2\" by 9'6\", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Salor, Tekke, Yomut and Ersari tribes each wove a recognizable variety of the Turkmen design. Each Turkmen tribe had its own main gul, its most important symbol, and the flag of Turkmenistan shows the five guls of the five main tribes. In northeastern Persia, Turkmen weavers keep to a strict grid, repeated across the field with almost no variation. The drawing never changes, and all the life is in the color. This Persian rug keeps that strict grid, with two stepped diamonds alternating in rows across the whole field. Its color is cool and quiet, slate blue and camel lit by muted pink. The border is wide and built of many bands, with dark brown stars and pink rosettes at its center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
