{"product_id":"11041-7x10-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11041 - Persian Tabriz Area Rug 7'1\" x 10'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eBranching vines and flower heads give this wonderful rug its lively field. Stone carries the whole field, crossed by graceful wine red vines that branch into leaves, rosettes and palmettes. In place of a medallion, a column of palmettes runs down the center, with a large wine red palmette at each end. Around it, rust, blue and navy flower heads sit in mirrored pairs on either side. The handsome rust border carries navy and blue palmettes linked by curling sprays. Narrow blue guard stripes, set with small wine red flowers, run on either side of it. The pile is low, with a few pale patches in the field. It reads as a light, open rug for a room in rust and blue, with the wine red giving it warmth. At 7'1\" by 10'4\", 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\u003eTabriz stood for a long period on the great caravan routes to Trebizond and Tiflis, and became the principal market of Persia for the export of rugs. Tabriz in northwestern Persia has a city workshop tradition, and the discipline of the drawing shows it. Borders turn cleanly at the corners, and the vine scrolls follow a plan laid out in full before weaving began. Tabriz workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds turn up beside the reds. This rug keeps that planned vine, each branch on one side answered by another on the other side, and its rust border turns cleanly at every corner. Its stone field sets the wine red palmettes and the navy flower heads well apart, so each color stays clear.\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":68049278894393,"sku":"AL_11041_215x316","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11041_1.jpg?v=1794373044","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11041-7x10-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
