{"product_id":"11029-5x7-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11029 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 4'9\" x 7'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large red stepped medallion sits at the heart of this wonderful rug. At the center, it rests on a dusty blue field filled with rows of pretty sprays in red, sage, gold and cream. The stepped diamond outline runs in cream and red, with tiny blue sprigs set along its inner edge. A handsome core of small rosettes and curling gold scrolls holds a cream center, with a pendant at the top and the bottom. The main border alternates red and pale blue triangles, the red ones holding leafy sage forms and the blue ones cream scrollwork. Dark guard stripes with a wavy cream line frame it on both sides, and a wider patterned band sits just inside them. The pile is high, with a few pale flecks in the blue field. It suits a room of red and blue, where the sage leaves of the border cool the strong red center. At 4'9\" by 7'1\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single agency in Isparta had about 25,294 square meters of carpet woven in homes in the first half of 1911, the busiest agent of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. The Isparta Carpet Palace was in its day the largest carpet exchange in its region and in all of Turkey. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. These are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly. This rug shares that orderly drawing, with its small sprays set in straight rows across the blue field. Its red medallion stays open inside, with only a scatter of small sprigs around the core. The sawtooth border of red and pale blue gives the whole rug a lively edge.\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":68002571026745,"sku":"AL_11029_145x215","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11029_1.jpg?v=1794063834","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11029-5x7-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
