{"product_id":"11090-7x14-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","title":"11090 - Persian Torkaman Oversized Rug 7'5\" x 13'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eRows of cream and orange guls give this lovely rug its steady, glowing rhythm. The black cherry field carries the octagonal guls in straight columns, each with a near-black core and small diamond figures set between. There is no medallion; the field is an all-over repeat of the gul from end to end. The main border has a near-black ground and runs a handsome chain of octagons and pretty star rosettes in cream, orange and red. Narrow guard stripes of small cream and rust figures run on either side of it. At each end, a wide band of slanting cream branches closes the design. The pile is low across the field, and the red reads paler in a few patches. It settles a dining room or a study, the cream and orange guls brightening all that deep red. At 7'5\" by 13'7\", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA main carpet was the most important and expensive weaving of every Turkmen tribe, and the main floor covering of the tent. Each Turkmen tribe had its own main gul, its most important symbol, and the flag of Turkmenistan shows the five guls of the five main tribes. In northeastern Persia, Turkmen weavers keep to a strict grid of gul motifs, the same octagonal figure repeated across the field with almost no variation. The drawing never changes, and all the life is in the color. This rug keeps that strict grid, its octagonal guls set in straight columns over the black cherry field. Its color lives in the cream and orange highlights inside each gul and in the star rosettes of the near-black border. A wide band of slanting cream branches closes each end.\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":68025904398649,"sku":"AL_11090_225x413","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11090_1.jpg?v=1794174810","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11090-7x14-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
