{"product_id":"11175-10x13-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11175 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 9'8\" x 12'11\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eGray brown stars and pale blue boteh repeat across this lovely rug in calm rows. From across a room the field reads stone, a pale ground crowded with closely worked flowers. Eight-pointed stars in gray brown with cream centers alternate with lobed cream flower heads outlined in teal and blue. Boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, curl between them with small square dots, and the field is an all-over repeat with no medallion. The wide cream main border carries a row of handsome lobed cartouches, each set between open sprays of teal and blue boteh around a rosette. Narrow gray brown guard stripes, threaded with small teal flower heads, run on either side of it. The pile is low, and a few patches near the edge have worn lower. The dense drawing settles into a pale room, its teal and pale blue sitting easily beside the stone and cream. At 9'8\" by 12'11\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, and its workshops spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. That palette is softer and chalkier, with more cream. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that soft, chalky palette, with stone and cream carrying teal and gray brown. Its stars and flower heads sit in straight rows, and the cream border repeats the lobed flower heads of the field on a larger scale.\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":68026301284665,"sku":"AL_11175_295x393","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11175_1.jpg?v=1794183450","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11175-10x13-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
