{"product_id":"11013-5x7-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11013 - Turkish Kayseri Area Rug 4'11\" x 7'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe rows of rust boteh are what the eye finds first on this charming rug. Worked on a beige field, each boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, has a rust heart outlined in navy and sits above a small flowering spray in slate blue and rose. Tiny rosettes dot the ground between the rows. There is no medallion, and the repeat runs over the whole field. The handsome rust border carries large lobed rosettes in slate blue, framed in navy and linked by a dark vine. Navy guard stripes with small rose and rust flower heads run on either side of it. The pile is low, with a few small spots where the foundation shows. It grounds a quiet room in warm rust and beige, and the navy stripes give its edges a clear line. At 4'11\" by 7'3\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarco Polo listed Casaria, the ancient Caesarea of Cappadocia at the foot of Mount Argaeus, among the chief cities of a land known for the finest carpets. Ottoman archive papers show that Kayseri once set up a commission and wrote rules to protect the quality of its carpets. This rug keeps a steady rhythm in its field, with boteh and flowering sprays set in straight rows over beige. The border turns floral, where lobed rosettes and flower heads hang on a dark vine across the rust ground. Navy and slate blue outline nearly every motif, so the pattern stays clear from end to end.\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":67998841897273,"sku":"AL_11013_150x222","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11013_1.jpg?v=1794040303","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11013-5x7-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
