{"product_id":"11064-7x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11064 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 7'3\" x 11'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA burgundy star medallion sits at the heart of this remarkable rug. Beige carries the whole field, an open ground stepped in at each corner and edged with a hooked teal line. The medallion is an eight-pointed star with a hooked blue edge, a teal cross at its core and branching sprigs across its burgundy ground. Small burgundy pendants, edged in blue, sit above and below it. Handsome mauve spandrels fill the stepped corners, each holding a hooked emblem. A splendid burgundy border carries a chain of star-shaped motifs linked by thin hooked lines. A teal guard stripe of blue S-forms and tiny stars runs inside it, and zigzag triangles close the outer edge. The pile is high, and a few faint marks show in the beige field. It holds a room with burgundy and teal, and the open beige center keeps it calm. At 7'3\" by 11'6\", 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\u003eCarpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them, an Ottoman report of 1917 notes. The state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field usually reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that order, with the medallion, pendants and spandrels mirrored top to bottom around a wide beige ground. Its palette sets burgundy and blue against pale teal and mauve, and the hooked edges give every shape a crisp outline.\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":68049366745401,"sku":"AL_11064_220x350","price":1975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11064_1.jpg?v=1794374282","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11064-7x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
