{"product_id":"11160-10x13-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","title":"11160 - Turkish Kayseri Oversized Rug 10' x 13'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eTiny blue blossoms scattered over the whole field give this lovely rug its quiet sparkle. On a beige field, fine dark brown vines curl in every direction, carrying small blossoms, leaves and boteh, the paisley leaf-drop. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, and dark blue flower heads mark it at intervals in loose rows. A handsome coral border frames it, its ground carrying a scrolling vine with blue and cream flower heads. Narrow cream guard stripes, set with small blue and dark brown motifs, run on either side of the border. The pile is low across the rug, and the drawing stays clear in every part. It reads as a soft spread of beige from across a room, and the coral border gives it a warm edge. At 10' by 13'1\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\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. This rug is one repeat with no medallion, fine dark brown vines curling across a beige ground with small blossoms, leaves and boteh. Dark blue flower heads sit at intervals in loose rows, and the pattern runs unbroken out to the guard stripes. The coral border closes it in a warm frame.\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":68026231882041,"sku":"AL_11160_305x400","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11160_1.jpg?v=1794180448","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11160-10x13-turkish-handmade-kayseri-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
