{"product_id":"11114-8x10-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11114 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 7'9\" x 9'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eBig curling leaves in blue and green sweep around the center of this wonderful rug. Over a stone field, branching blue vines carry rosettes, flower sprays and those curling leaves, with rust buds scattered between. In place of a medallion, the vines open into a diamond at the center around a graceful rosette. A green palmette sits above it, and a blue palmette sits below. A handsome teal border frames it all, set with palmettes, rosettes and curling leaves in rust and green. Narrow guard stripes run on both sides of it, each carrying a chain of small blue buds. The pile is low and full over the whole rug. The dense drawing of rust, green and blue on stone suits a dining room or a sitting area, and the teal border keeps it light. At 7'9\" by 9'10\", 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\u003eTabriz weavers tie their knots with a small hooked knife instead of their fingers, and have been timed at faster than one knot a second. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Borders that turn cleanly at the corners and vine scrolls planned in full before weaving began are the marks of Tabriz work. Its workshops used a wider palette than most, so stone and pale blue grounds appear alongside the reds. This rug has that planned vine scroll, its blue branches mirrored from side to side, and a teal border that turns cleanly at each corner. The palmettes and long leaves are large and loosely spaced, with open stone ground around them.\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":68014577549625,"sku":"AL_11114_235x300","price":3175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11114_1.jpg?v=1794114513","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11114-8x10-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
