{"product_id":"11096-5x6-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","title":"11096 - Turkish Anatolian Area Rug 4'11\" x 5'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe gold diamond medallion at the heart of this lovely rug catches the eye first. Worked on a brick field, serrated palmettes in cream and gold ride long vine stems among hooked leaves and pretty dark blue buds. The medallion itself is a gold diamond ringed by short slanting rays, with a small cream, green and brick cross at its core. Two lobed rosettes in cream and dark green sit above and below it. The handsome cream border carries a row of hooked lozenges on brick and green grounds, with blue and gold at their centers. Gold guard stripes set with small brick and blue hooks run on either side, and a thin blue line edges the field. The pile is low across the whole rug. It grounds a reading corner, its brick and cream giving warmth to pale walls and wood floors. At 4'11\" by 5'7\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nomadic herders of Turkey, the Yoruk, live in black goat-hair tents and travel between winter and summer pastures. From 1908 to 1914 the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers employed 50 to 60 thousand carpet weavers in Anatolia alone, working at home. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing. This rug keeps that geometry close: its palmettes are serrated, its leaves are hooked, and the medallion is a sharp gold diamond with slanting rays. The cream border carries a row of hooked lozenges, brick and green in turn, each with a blue or gold center. Gold guard stripes and thin blue lines frame the brick field on every side.\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":68015255486777,"sku":"AL_11096_150x170","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11096_1.jpg?v=1794127186","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11096-5x6-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
