{"product_id":"11053-5x10-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11053 - Persian Tabriz Area Rug 5'6\" x 9'9\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pictorial garden scene sits at the heart of this remarkable rug. Within a deep indigo field, graceful flowering trees rise in rows among branching stems, hung with coral blossoms and pale blue rosettes. The medallion is a lobed diamond that opens onto a landscape of hills, cypress trees and a broad leafy tree. Animals rest on a grassy bank above a pool of blue water, where fish and a duck swim. Small pendants close the medallion at its top and bottom points. The handsome main border has a cream ground, carrying indigo rosettes, coral sprays and small shrub forms. Dusty rose guard stripes run on either side, set with indigo flower heads. The pile is low throughout. It brings deep indigo and warm coral into a room, while the cream border lightens the edges. At 5'6\" by 9'9\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsma’il, the first Safavid shah, was crowned in Tabriz in 1501. Medallion carpet designs of the 16th century are usually associated with Tabriz, then the Safavid capital and the seat of the royal design workshops. Tabriz in northwestern Persia has a city workshop tradition, and the discipline of the drawing shows it. Medallions sit properly centered there, and borders turn cleanly at the corners. This rug shares that order: its lobed medallion sits at the center of the field, and the cream border turns each corner without a break. The rows of flowering trees repeat in mirror image above and below the medallion. Inside it, the landscape of hills and water gives the indigo field a quiet focal point.\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.
