{"product_id":"11070-3x11-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11070 - Persian Tabriz Runner Rug 2'8\" x 11'2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA column of hooked diamonds in deep indigo runs down the center of this lovely runner. From across a room the field reads dusty rose, though its ground is sand and cream clouded with pink. The diamonds sit point to point in place of a medallion, some outlined in indigo hooks, others solid pink or pale sand. One small pink diamond holds a tiny indigo grid, and indigo combs and triangles fill the gaps beside them. A handsome border of rectangular cartouches runs around the field, setting cream octagons in indigo frames beside pink panels and small star rosettes. A narrow pink guard stripe edges the field. The pile is low across the whole runner, and the foundation shows through in places. The pink reads paler in patches, most toward one end. It holds a long hall with gentle color, and the deep indigo gives the pink and sand a clear edge. At 2'8\" by 11'2\", 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. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. This runner shares that order: its diamonds keep a straight line down the center, and its border cartouches follow one another in a steady rhythm along both sides. Its palette is pink, sand and deep indigo, with the indigo kept to outlines, frames and small stars so the pink carries the length. At each end the border closes with a short row of panels and star rosettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
