{"product_id":"11111-8x10-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11111 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 8' x 10'2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA spiky cream medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Over a chestnut field, graceful curling leaves in cream, gold and pale blue sweep around palmettes and rosettes on a fine vine scroll. The medallion holds a pale blue lozenge with a pink core, and its cream points fan out on every side. Below it, a beautiful gold and pink palmette rings a round chestnut center, flanked by two pale blue columns. A shower of small flower heads fills the ground between them. Rows of larger palmettes in pale blue and cream fill the sides, and the pattern carries out to each corner. The pile is low across the face, and every motif stays clear. It brings warm chestnut and gold into a room, with pale blue and pink keeping it light. At 8' by 10'2\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsma’il, the first Safavid shah, was crowned in Tabriz in 1501. Tabriz 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. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Centered medallions and vine scrolls planned in full before weaving began are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug keeps both: a cream medallion holds the center, and a vine scroll runs under every leaf and palmette. Its left and right halves mirror each other closely. Chestnut carries the ground throughout, with cream, gold and pale blue laid over it in large sweeping leaves.\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.
