{"product_id":"11161-9x13-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","title":"11161 - Turkish Anatolian Oversized Rug 9'1\" x 12'8\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stepped red medallion sits on the deep navy field of this lovely rug. Hooked edges and small spiral curls cover the navy field toward its corners. The medallion itself is a stepped red diamond around a cream inner diamond, with a small red star at its core. Pointed pendants cap it at the top and the bottom, and comb shapes and small rosettes ring the red. Handsome light blue spandrels fill the four corners, each holding a cream hooked shape. The main border is red, set with a row of cream and beige stars in stepped frames. Beige guard stripes run on either side, picked out with tiny navy and light blue diamonds. The pile is low over the whole rug, and every color stays clear. It holds a large room well, the navy and red giving it weight while the light blue corners lift it. At 9'1\" 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\u003eThe carpets called “Holbein” were woven in Anatolia as early as the 14th century and became popular in Europe from the 15th century on. So many western Anatolian carpets shipped to Europe in the 1600s and 1700s were given to churches in Romania and Hungary that they became known as “Transylvanian” carpets. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing. This rug keeps to that geometry throughout, from the stepped medallion and its pointed pendants to the hooked edges of the navy field. The flowers are squared off into small eight-point rosettes. Its border repeats one stepped star frame after another, in cream and beige on red, so the whole rug reads in straight lines and hooks.\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":68026244956473,"sku":"AL_11161_276x385","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11161_1_d7eb14fc-2628-4239-8f43-51a29fd5b8bc.jpg?v=1794193311","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11161-9x13-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
