{"product_id":"11138-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11138 - Turkish Kayseri Area Rug 6'8\" x 9'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eFine brown vines and leaves cover this lovely rug in a closely worked pattern. Across a beige field, the vines curl between camel leaves, dotted with tiny sprigs in blue. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, its small flower clusters set in rows. The handsome main border has a camel ground, carrying a graceful scroll of vine and small blue blossoms. A wide cream outer band follows, its scalloped edge holding brown flower heads and curling leaves. Inside the main border, a guard stripe of blue rosettes runs between a sawtooth line and narrow stripes. The pile is low across the whole rug. It suits a calm room, where the beige and brown sit easily together and the blue rosettes give a cool note. At 6'8\" by 9'3\", 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. According to the Turkish yearbook of 1927, Kayseri had 5,070 looms, weaving about 15,200 carpets a year for export. The repeat runs from one end of the field to the other, with no center point to gather it. Each vine branches into camel leaves, and small pink and blue flower heads sit where the stems meet. Muted pink turns up again in the main border, beside its blue blossoms. Three bands frame the field: the narrow rosette stripe, the camel scroll and the wide cream band. Each band is a little wider than the one inside it, so the frame grows toward the edge.\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":68025822544185,"sku":"AL_11138_204x283","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11138_1.jpg?v=1794173334","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11138-7x9-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
