{"product_id":"11135-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11135 - Turkish Kayseri Area Rug 6'8\" x 9'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoft sprays of blue and khaki flowers drift across this lovely rug from end to end. The beige field carries an all-over repeat of small blossoms, curling vines and leaves, with no medallion. Thin bands of tiny blue dots frame the field, and short dark stripes cross it near each end. The border repeats graceful scrolling vines in khaki and slate blue, with touches of pale rose. The pile is low across the whole rug, and every color reads soft and pale. It settles into a quiet room, where its beige and soft blue sit easily with pale wood and linen. At 6'8\" by 9'4\", 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\u003eMarco Polo listed Casaria, the ancient Caesarea of Cappadocia at the foot of Mount Argaeus, among the chief cities of a land known for the finest carpets. Ottoman archive papers show that Kayseri once set up a commission and wrote rules to protect the quality of its carpets. Its pattern runs as one even repeat, so the field reads as a single soft surface from across the room. Slate blue and khaki give the small flowers their outline, and the dark stripes near the ends are the strongest marks on the rug. The dotted bands and the scrolling border keep the frame as light as the field.\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":68025780371769,"sku":"AL_11135_202x285","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11135_1.jpg?v=1794172825","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11135-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
