{"product_id":"11213-8x11-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11213 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 8'1\" x 11'5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA steel blue star medallion holds the center of this lovely rug. Across a muted pink field, sprays of small lavender blossoms circle the center and gather toward the ends. The medallion is a star of graceful steel blue scrolls around a pink core with a rosette, a flower seen from above. Small pendants sit above and below it. Lavender corners hold pink scrolls and flower heads, and they give the field a cusped outline. The handsome main border runs on steel blue, thick with pink blossoms and leaves and broken by lobed pink cartouches set with scrolls. A narrow pink guard stripe with small flowers closes the outer edge. The pile is low, and the foundation shows in places. The dense drawing in steel blue and lavender keeps the pink from going flat and carries a cool note into the room. At 8'1\" by 11'5\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsma’il, the first Safavid shah, was crowned in Tabriz in 1501. The city workshop tradition of Tabriz, in northwestern Persia, shows in the discipline of the drawing. Centered medallions, borders that turn cleanly at the corners and vine scrolls planned in full are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug keeps that centered medallion, and its border turns cleanly at each of the four corners. Scrolls run through the medallion, the corners and the cartouches, repeated in mirror image from side to side. Pink and steel blue set every part of the design apart, from the small blossoms to the wide 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. It ships folded and fully insured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storied Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68028189573433,"sku":"AL_11213_246x347","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11213_1.jpg?v=1794189237","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11213-8x11-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
