{"product_id":"11134-7x9-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11134 - Persian Tabriz Area Rug 6'7\" x 8'9\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lovely rug centers on a gold medallion that glows against its olive ground. At the center, a round medallion sits on an olive field strewn with graceful gold flower sprays. Its scalloped gold ring holds a dark olive core, and a larger lobed frame narrows to a point above and below, ending in small mauve pendants. Large spandrels in mauve and gray brown fill the four corners, carrying broad gold leaves. The handsome main border has a gold ground and carries a scrolling olive vine with palmettes and rosettes. Narrow gold guard stripes set with small dark rosettes run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows through across much of the field. It reads as a warm gold frame around a cool olive center, and it suits a calm, quiet room. At 6'7\" by 8'9\", 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\u003eTabriz 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. Tabriz in northwestern Persia has a city workshop tradition, and the discipline of the drawing shows it. Medallions sit properly centered, borders turn cleanly at the corners, and the vine scrolls follow a plan laid out in full before weaving began. This rug keeps that order: its medallion sits squarely at the center, and the gold border turns each corner without a break. Gold runs through the whole rug, from the medallion ring to the corner leaves and the border vine. Inside that warm frame, the olive field reads cool and quiet.\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":68015247655225,"sku":"AL_11134_200x266","price":875.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11134_1.jpg?v=1794126353","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11134-7x9-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
