{"product_id":"11078-11x14-turkish-handmade-oushak-vintage-rug","title":"11078 - Turkish Oushak Oversized Rug 11' x 13'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug is its large cream medallion. On a dusty rose field, cream sprigs link into a lattice of six-sided cells, each holding a pretty rosette in pale blue and cream. The medallion is a lobed diamond outlined in light brown, with pale blue and pink flowers clustered at its core. Cream pendants sit above and below it, with smaller ones at either side. Pale blue spandrels fill the corners, set with cream and pink palmettes. The main border is a handsome cream band, carrying a scroll of palmettes and leaves in dusty rose and light brown. Guard stripes on both sides carry small pink squares and tiny cross-flowers on dusty rose. The pile is high across the field and the borders. It holds a large room in dusty rose and cream, while the pale blue corners bring a cooler note. At 11' by 13'7\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedallion Oushak carpets were made in large numbers from the later 15th century to the 18th, and were hugely popular in the Ottoman Empire and in Europe. The Metropolitan Museum of Art calls its Star Oushak of the late 1400s one of the earliest, largest and best preserved carpets of its type. This rug is a medallion rug as well, its lobed cream diamond set at the center of a dusty rose field, with pendants on one line above and below. The field lattice is laid out in steady rows, every cell holding one rosette. Pale blue returns in the corners and in a narrow stripe beside the cream border, which carries a scroll of palmettes around all four sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
