{"product_id":"11201-6x9-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","title":"11201 - Turkish Anatolian Area Rug 6'6\" x 9'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis wonderful rug is a patchwork of muted yellow and sage panels set edge to edge. Worked on a muted yellow field, lobed octagons in cream, rust and blue sit among small squares and hooked sprigs. Chains of small diamond tiles frame several panels of both colors, overlapping near the center. There is no central medallion; two panels hold a lattice of crossed lines along a single stem. At each end runs a row of square panels, with blue chevron stripes in two opposite corners. The handsome border is a narrow chain of diamonds in rust, blue, cream and yellow, with a plain rust guard stripe outside it. The pile is high. It reads as a bright, friendly piece for a sunlit room, the yellow and sage warmed by rust. At 6'6\" by 9'4\", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nomadic herders of Turkey, the Yoruk, live in black goat-hair tents and travel between winter and summer pastures. From 1908 to 1914 the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers employed 50 to 60 thousand carpet weavers in Anatolia alone, working at home. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing. This rug keeps to geometry throughout, built from octagons, diamonds and stepped medallions with no floral drawing. Its soft sage green and cream sit beside a strong muted yellow, deep indigo and rust. The panels lock together across the whole face, so the eye moves from one compartment to the next.\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":68026322288953,"sku":"AL_11201_197x284","price":2775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11201_1.jpg?v=1794184472","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11201-6x9-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
