{"product_id":"11159-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11159 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'6\" x 12'8\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large blue star medallion fills the middle of this wonderful rug. On a stone field, sprays of pink flowers and clusters of dark green leaves spread out toward the ends. The medallion is slate blue, with a red and pink rosette at its core, and a vase-shaped pendant sits above and below it. Red corner pieces filled with flowers surround the pale field. The main border is coral, set with navy palmettes and pink flowers, between slate blue guard stripes. The pile is full across the field and the border. It slips into a room with pale walls, and the coral border warms the cream and blue. At 9'6\" by 12'8\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the middle of the 1800s commercial carpet weaving revived in Persia, and Tabriz was one of its most important centers, weaving largely for Europe. Its weavers tie their knots with a small hooked knife instead of their fingers, and have been timed at faster than one knot a second. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Its workshops used a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds appear alongside the reds. This rug has a stone ground and a medallion set squarely at the center. Its border turns cleanly at all four corners, and coral and blue frame the pale 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":68026196787513,"sku":"AL_11159_290x385","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11159_1.jpg?v=1794178901","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11159-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
