{"product_id":"11089-7x16-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11089 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 6'9\" x 16'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lovely rug carries a red lattice down the whole length of its navy field. Pink vases of flowers and light blue sprigs fill the navy field, each vase set in an ogival compartment of interlaced red bands. The pattern repeats from end to end as an all-over lattice with no medallion. The wide main border has a sand ground, carrying a handsome scroll of red vines with large light blue leaf sprays and small blossoms. Red guard stripes set with light blue sprigs run on either side of it, and a narrow navy band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the field and the border. It holds its place in a long room, the navy field settling the red lattice while the sand border lifts the edges. At 6'9\" by 16'1\", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Ottoman report of 1917 notes that carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them. The Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. These are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field tends to read calm from across a room. This rug shares that orderly drawing, with one vase and lattice unit repeated in rows across the whole navy field. Its border is the busiest part, a sand band of scrolling red vines and light blue leaves between red guard stripes.\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":68025883951417,"sku":"AL_11089_205x490","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11089_1.jpg?v=1794174292","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11089-7x16-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
