{"product_id":"11069-3x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11069 - Persian Tabriz Runner Rug 2'7\" x 12'5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA column of green and cream medallions runs the full length of this lovely runner. Small geometric figures, crosses and stars cover the dusty rose field. The medallions follow a steady order of three shapes: a stepped star, a hexagon and a cross form. Handsome stepped stars in dark green and teal hold both ends and the middle of the column. Hexagons, outlined in cream, brown or green, come next to each star. In each half, a cross form with a rose center set in a brown and green surround sits between two hexagons. The main border carries a serrated geometric pattern, its ground brown at one end and green over most of the length. Narrow cream guard stripes with small geometric figures run on either side of it. The pile is low across the runner. It grounds a long passage in rose and green, and the cream outlines keep the whole line light. At 2'7\" by 12'5\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedallion carpet designs of the 16th century are usually associated with Tabriz, then the Safavid capital and the seat of the royal design workshops. A special court workshop, possibly at Tabriz, is credited with translating the most splendid book illuminations into carpets. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Centered medallions and borders that turn cleanly at the corners are marks of Tabriz work. This runner keeps every medallion on its center line, and its border turns cleanly at each corner. The column repeats its three shapes in a set order, star, hexagon, cross form, hexagon, then star again. The dusty rose field shows between them, crowded with small figures in brown, green and cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
