{"product_id":"11173-9x12-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11173 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 9'1\" x 11'9\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dark plum medallion sits at the heart of this delightful rug. Set in a salmon field, rosettes ringed in rose, lavender and gold float among flower heads, small palmettes and curling leaves. The medallion is a jagged open frame with a small gold device at its core, and a stem of flower heads runs above and below it. Large ragged palmettes sit near the corners, two in gold, one in rose and one in lavender. A handsome lavender border carries a scrolling vine of gold and rose palmettes. Rose guard stripes set with small gold rosettes run on either side of it. The pile is low across the whole rug, and every motif stays clear. It brings salmon and gold warmth into a room, and the lavender border cools it. At 9'1\" by 11'9\", 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 of Isparta, known as “Isparta quality,” were famous in the early years of the Turkish Republic. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. 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. This rug shares that soft palette, with salmon and rose across the field and a lavender border. Its large flowers are set in balanced rows around the plum medallion, with a big ragged palmette near each corner.\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":68026295320889,"sku":"AL_11173_277x358","price":5400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11173_1.jpg?v=1794182996","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11173-9x12-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
