{"product_id":"11012-9x13-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11012 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 8'6\" x 12'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe red medallion with its cream star glows at the heart of this lovely rug. Over a navy field, graceful sprays of red and cream blossoms branch out, some rising from small vases. The medallion is lobed and red, holding a cream star set with red rosettes around a pink core. A red pendant sits above it and another below, each trailing flower sprays. Cream spandrels fill the four corners, worked with large scrolling vines, small flowers and pale blue sprays. The handsome deep red border carries a curling cream vine that forms rounded loops around palmettes and small blossoms. Guard stripes in cream, set with small red and blue flowers, run on either side of it. The pile is low in places, and the foundation shows in pale specks across parts of the navy field. It brings navy and warm red into a large room, and the cream corners keep the center bright. At 8'6\" by 12'7\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1850 carpet weaving in Isparta has passed through many stages, and it was the Oriental Carpet Company that first carried its carpets overseas. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs. As town rugs rather than tribal ones, they keep an orderly drawing, and the field usually reads calm from across a room. This rug is built around a single center: the red medallion sits in the middle of the navy field, with a pendant above and below and flower sprays spreading out to either side. The cream spandrels mirror one another at the corners, so the field reads as a navy shape framed in cream. Red ties the medallion, the pendants and the border together across the whole face.\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. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67998977589561,"sku":"AL_11012_260x383","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11012_1.jpg?v=1794042248","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11012-9x13-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
