{"product_id":"11170-8x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11170 - Turkish Isparta 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\u003eA single agency in Isparta had about 25,294 square meters of carpet woven in homes in the first half of 1911, the busiest agent of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. The palette is chalkier and softer, with more cream and rose. These are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field tends to read calm from across a room. This rug shares that soft palette, with stone and gold leading. Its plan is orderly too, mirrored along the center line. Its border is the warmest part, a band of gold 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-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
