{"product_id":"11037-7x10-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","title":"11037 - Persian Torkaman Area Rug 7' x 10'","description":"\u003cp\u003eRow upon row of guls gives this wonderful rug its steady, graphic rhythm. Deep burgundy carries the whole field, set with oval guls in cream, gold and dark blue. There is no medallion: the guls repeat from end to end, linked by fine dark lines, with small gold cross figures between them. The handsome main border has a black cherry ground carrying cream octagons and star rosettes. Several guard stripes frame it, set with cream sawtooth triangles and small gold blossoms. At each end, a wide panel runs diagonal bands of dark blue, gold and cream. The pile is low across the rug, and a few spots in the field read darker. It suits a room of warm wood, where the gold in each gul lifts all that burgundy. At 7' by 10', it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTekke rugs are the most easily identified of the Turkmen, because the quartered gul of their larger carpets became something of a trademark and was often copied elsewhere. Turkmen weavers in northeastern Persia work to a strict repeating grid of gul motifs. Because the drawing never changes, all the life is in the color. This rug keeps that grid, with one gul repeated in long rows across the field and the same small gold cross figure set between them. Its color sits in the deep burgundy ground, the cream and gold inside each gul, and the black cherry border around them. At both ends, the wide diagonal panels in dark blue and gold close the rug with a darker band.\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":68014143865145,"sku":"AL_11037_214x305","price":2150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11037_1.jpg?v=1794109670","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11037-7x10-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
