{"product_id":"11215-9x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11215 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 8'8\" x 11'9\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ring of teal and dark blue rosettes circles the center of this lovely rug. Worked on a mid gray field, graceful curling vines carry gray brown leaves and small blossoms out from the middle. The medallion is an open round of leafy scrolls, with a teal and dark blue rosette at its core. Beaded oval rosettes sit on all four sides of it, and teal boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, curl between them. Smaller dark blue flower heads are scattered through the gray around them. Handsome scalloped spandrels fill the corners, thick with charcoal and gray brown vines and blossoms. The pile is low across the face, and the foundation shows in pale patches toward one end. It holds a calm gray and charcoal room together, and the teal rosettes give the eye a place to rest. At 8'8\" by 11'9\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA special court workshop, possibly at Tabriz, is credited with translating the most splendid book illuminations into carpets. Since the late 19th century a complex design has usually reached the weavers as a cartoon, laid out on squared paper with one square for each knot. Tabriz in northwestern Persia has a city workshop tradition, and the discipline of the drawing shows it. Medallions sit properly centered, and Tabriz workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds turn up beside the reds. This rug keeps its round medallion of leafy scrolls squarely at the center, with beaded oval rosettes on all four sides. Its mid gray ground belongs with those quieter grounds, and teal and dark blue are picked out against the gray and charcoal. Scalloped spandrels thick with vines fill the corners.\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":68028197175609,"sku":"AL_11215_263x357","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11215_1.jpg?v=1794189659","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11215-9x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
