{"product_id":"11181-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11181 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'6\" x 13'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteel blue blossoms running down the border give this lovely rug its first note of color. On a beige field, graceful vine scrolls carry small tan and pale blue blossoms and leaves. Small pale blue buds dot the field between the scrolls. A faint medallion of scrolling vine sits at the center, set in the same light tones. Curved spandrels fill the four corners, edged in pale blue. The handsome cream border carries steel blue palmettes, curling leaves and tan flower heads. Narrow guard stripes in tan run on either side, the outer one set with small blue square motifs. The pile is low across the rug. It reads as a calm beige base for a room, with the steel blue border giving it a cool edge. At 9'6\" by 13', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTabriz stood for a long period on the great caravan routes to Trebizond and Tiflis, and became the principal market of Persia for the export of rugs. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. Medallions are properly centered, borders turn cleanly at the corners, and the vine scrolls follow a plan worked out in full before weaving began. Tabriz workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds turn up. This rug keeps that order, with its medallion at the center and its border turning cleanly at each corner. Its beige field and cream border hold steel blue and tan in light tones, with fine vine scrolls reaching every edge.\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":68026342506809,"sku":"AL_11181_290x395","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11181_1.jpg?v=1794185785","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11181-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
