{"product_id":"11130-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11130 - Turkish Kayseri Area Rug 6'11\" x 9'2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eRows of octagonal guls give this charming rug its calm, orderly grid. Worked on a smoke gray and sage field, the guls sit one to a compartment, framed by thin beaded lines. Each octagon holds a cream or sage core with a small stepped diamond at its center, and a handsome cartouche sits above and below it. The guls repeat across the field in place of a single medallion, and a few in wine red stand out among the gray and sage. Small checkered triangles in brown fill the gaps between neighboring octagons. The cream main border carries a beautiful chain of rosettes linked by a dark lattice. Narrow brown guard stripes with a small key pattern run on either side of it. The pile is low across the whole rug. It reads as a quiet grid of sage and smoke gray, and the wine red guls give it warmth. At 6'11\" by 9'2\", 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\u003eOttoman archive papers show that Kayseri once set up a commission and wrote rules to protect the quality of its carpets. This rug keeps a strict grid, with the same octagonal gul set in every compartment of the field. Its life comes from the cells themselves, which turn between sage, smoke gray and wine red, and from the cream and sage cores at their centers. The wine red guls gather mostly in the upper rows, and a cream border closes the whole grid.\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":68011566825785,"sku":"AL_11130_210x280","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11130_1.jpg?v=1794102628","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11130-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
