{"product_id":"11115-6x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11115 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 6'3\" x 10'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lovely rug opens on a long, quiet terracotta panel inside a wide stepped frame. Terracotta carries the whole field, inside the frame and around it, where cream and terracotta ovals with small sprigs stand along the outer edge. In place of a medallion, the frame holds the center, and its corners are cut back in steps. A cream band of small terracotta squares, each with a four-petal flower, edges the open panel. Beyond it, beautiful cream and light blue cartouches alternate, carrying hooked shapes and small rosettes. A narrow cream guard stripe dotted with light blue squares runs outside them. A handsome camel band closes the frame, its notched outline stepping into the field around cream hooked motifs. The narrow border repeats small squares in terracotta and light blue. The pile is low, and the foundation shows in places across the open panel. The dense drawing of the frame circles a calm center, and the light blue cools the terracotta. At 6'3\" by 10'7\", 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 carpets of Isparta, known as “Isparta quality,” were famous in the early years of the Turkish Republic. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey. Its workshops spent the twentieth century weaving in a distinctly Turkish palette, softer and chalkier, with more cream. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly. This rug shares that soft, chalky palette, with terracotta, cream, light blue and camel laid side by side. Its drawing is orderly too, each hooked shape and rosette repeated in step around the frame. The open terracotta panel at the center, with nothing inside it, gives the eye a quiet place to rest.\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":68013980287289,"sku":"AL_11115_190x323","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11115_1.jpg?v=1794106691","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11115-6x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
