{"product_id":"11140-4x6-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11140 - Persian Tabriz Accent Rug 3'6\" x 5'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eSmall flowers crowd the midnight field of this lovely rug. At the center, rows of cream blossoms and rust rosettes repeat on a midnight blue field, joined by thin cream vines and pale blue leaves. The repeat runs over the whole field with no medallion, the same flowers turning up row after row. The handsome main border has a gray beige ground, set with dark vines, rust sprigs and palmettes in pale blue. Several narrow rust guard stripes, picked out with a small dark repeat, frame the border on both sides. The pile is low, and a few patches near the top of the field have worn down to the foundation. It grounds a small space in midnight blue, and the gray beige border keeps the edges light. At 3'6\" by 5'7\", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA special court workshop, possibly at Tabriz, is credited with translating the most splendid book illuminations into carpets. Since the late 19th century a complex design has usually reached the weavers as a cartoon, laid out on squared paper with one square for each knot. Tabriz in northwestern Persia has a city workshop tradition, and the discipline of the drawing shows it. 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 border turns each corner cleanly, and the field vines link the flowers in steady rows. Its field is a midnight blue lit with cream and rust, and the gray beige border sets a pale frame around it.\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":68010529194297,"sku":"AL_11140_107x169","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11140_1.jpg?v=1794100789","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11140-4x6-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
