{"product_id":"11091-10x11-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11091 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'7\" x 11'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large scalloped cream medallion fills almost the whole center of this lovely rug. Within a rust field, graceful flowering vines carry small blossoms in pale blue, cream and near-black. The medallion is a lobed diamond with pointed tips, its cream ground covered in scrolling vines, rosettes and leaves in blue, rose and cream. A small rosette with a near-black center marks its core, and small palmettes sit near its points. The handsome main border has a near-black ground, worked with rose and cream flower sprays and rosettes. Guard stripes of small blue blossoms and twisted bands in rose and near-black frame it on either side. A plain cream band runs around the outer edge. The pile is low over the whole rug. It slips into a dining room or a large sitting room, where the cream center lifts the rust and near-black around it. At 9'7\" by 11'6\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTabriz stood for a long period on the great caravan routes to Trebizond and Tiflis, and became the principal market of Persia for the export of rugs. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. Medallions are properly centered, and borders turn cleanly at the corners. Tabriz workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds turn up alongside the reds. This rug keeps that discipline: its cream medallion sits square in the center, and the border turns cleanly at each corner. Its rust field and near-black border hold a cream center scattered with blue rosettes, and twisted rose stripes run around the whole.\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":68014572208441,"sku":"AL_11091_292x350","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11091_1.jpg?v=1794114212","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11091-10x11-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
