{"product_id":"11087-12x16-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11087 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 12'2\" x 16'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarge palmettes in cream, peach pink and pale green lend this lovely rug an airy look. On a slate blue field, the palmettes sit among leafy sprays and small blossoms, linked by graceful vines in peach pink and pale green. There is no medallion, and the field is an all-over repeat that runs from end to end. A few palmettes are worked in olive, with cream and peach pink at their centers. The handsome main border shares the slate blue ground and carries more palmettes and leaves on a winding vine. Narrow cream guard stripes frame it on both sides, set with small rosettes in peach pink and pale green. The pile is low across the whole rug. It reads as calm and bright in a large room, where the cream and peach pink lift the cool slate blue. At 12'2\" by 16'1\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the middle of the 1800s commercial carpet weaving revived in Persia, and Tabriz was one of its most important centers, weaving largely for Europe. Its weavers tie their knots with a small hooked knife instead of their fingers, and have been timed at faster than one knot a second. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Borders that turn cleanly at the corners and vine scrolls planned in full before weaving began are marks of Tabriz work. This rug shares both: its wide border turns cleanly at each corner, and the vines of the field are laid out with care. Its palette stays cool and light, with slate blue, cream and pale green set against touches of peach pink.\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":68009206219065,"sku":"AL_11087_372x490","price":11200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11087_1.jpg?v=1794098283","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11087-12x16-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
