{"product_id":"11170-8x11-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","title":"11170 - Persian Torkaman Oversized Rug 8' x 10'10\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA column of gold medallions runs down the center of this remarkable rug. Over a stone field, blocks of small lattice alternate with sprays of rosettes, deep red leaves and tall sage green palmettes. At the center, a small gold lobed medallion holds a deep red flower, with a dark green palmette in a ring of beads just below it. Larger gold medallions with starred cores sit above and below, each framed by teal curling leaves. Near each corner sits a pale palmette outlined in sage green. The handsome gold border carries teal cartouches holding small flowers, set among deep red blossoms. Narrow guard stripes of small leaves run on either side of it. The pile is low, and the design reads clear across the whole field. It holds a room with soft gold and stone, while the teal and deep red keep it lively. At 8' by 10'10\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name Bukhara was given to Torkaman rugs in error in the first half of the 20th century, though few Torkaman live around that city. A main carpet was the most important and expensive weaving of every Torkaman tribe, and the main floor covering of the tent. This rug takes a different path from the repeated gul, laid out along its center line with a column of gold medallions down a stone field. Its border is the warmest part, a band of gold with teal cartouches around the quiet 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":68049698521401,"sku":"AL_11170_245x330","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11170_1.jpg?v=1794377445","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11170-8x11-persian-handmade-torkaman-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
