{"product_id":"11191-8x11-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11191 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 8'2\" x 11'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA large cream diamond medallion gives this wonderful rug its bright center. Within a powder blue field, rows of small red rosettes alternate with cream buds and fine red sprigs. The diamond medallion has a cream ground, with a red and powder blue quatrefoil rosette at its core, blue scrolling vines and red trefoil blossoms. A stepped pendant caps each point at the top and bottom. Handsome cream spandrels fill the four corners, holding blue scrolls and narrow striped bands in red, brown and blue. The main border has a cream ground set with red cross-shaped flower heads and powder blue blossoms. Red guard stripes run on either side, carrying small blue and cream motifs, and a dark brown band closes the outer edge. The pile is full and high over the field and borders. It holds a room in powder blue and brick red, with the cream diamond as a calm middle. At 8'2\" by 11'6\", 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 Isparta carpet factory, a center of the craft for a wide region, kept working until 2008. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. 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 order, its small rosettes set in straight rows across the powder blue field. Its cream diamond medallion sits at the center, framed by cream corners and a wide cream and red border.\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.
