{"product_id":"11118-8x10-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11118 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 7'7\" x 10'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA navy and cream medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Set within a burgundy field, a cream frame with curving vine edges shapes the open ground. At the center, a handsome lobed navy star medallion with scalloped cream edges holds a cream star at its core, among leaves and blossoms. A palmette pendant floats above it and another below. Cream spandrels fill the corners, holding brown and sky blue leaf sprays. The main border is navy, set with long cartouches with burgundy cores between rosettes. Guard stripes on either side carry small burgundy rosettes and sky blue leaves. Pale specks dot the field where the pile is low. It brings depth to a dining room, the burgundy and navy kept bright by the sky blue guards. At 7'7\" by 10'4\", 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\u003eIn the first half of 1911 the company workshop in Isparta wove about 12,318 square meters of carpet, more than any other workshop of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. 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 usually reads calm from across a room. This rug keeps that order: one navy star medallion on a burgundy ground, a palmette pendant above and below, and cream spandrels in the four corners. A cream frame with curving vine edges shapes the open ground, so the burgundy sits as a clear shape at the center. The navy border, set with long cartouches, holds it all in.\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":68015257289017,"sku":"AL_11118_230x315","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11118_1.jpg?v=1794127969","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11118-8x10-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
