{"product_id":"11106-6x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11106 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 6'6\" x 11'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree stepped medallions in red and dark brown run down the center of this lovely rug. Within a sand field, graceful flowering vines in red, gray and gold spread out around them. The top medallion is red, edged in dark brown, with a gray core holding a small star. The middle one has a dark brown ground around a gray core, and the bottom one is red with a gray outline and a dark brown center. Between the middle and bottom medallions, a line of red lettering reads HOSGELDINIZ, Turkish for welcome. The handsome red border carries scrolling vines, gold palmettes and small rosettes. Its scalloped inner edge sends flower sprays reaching into the field. The pile is low. It reads as a calm sand ground framed in red, and its gray and gold sit easily with both cool and warm furnishings. At 6'6\" by 11'1\", 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\u003eThe Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. The Isparta Carpet Palace was in its day the largest carpet exchange in its region and in all of Turkey. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, and its workshops spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that calm, with wide stretches of sand left open between its flowering vines. Its three medallions sit in a single column, and the red border wraps the whole field in scrolling flowers.\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":68011977998649,"sku":"AL_11106_198x337","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11106_1.jpg?v=1794102995","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11106-6x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
