{"product_id":"11216-8x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11216 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 8' x 11'9\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA great walnut star medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Over a khaki field, teal and walnut vines wander in every direction, set with tiny leaves and flower heads. The medallion is a many-pointed star of pale petals on walnut, around an ivory roundel with a small square core. Oval pendants with dusty rose centers sit above and below it, each tipped with a small rosette. Dusty rose spandrels fill the corners and run along both sides, holding walnut leaf forms and teal scrolls. The handsome ivory main border carries a repeat of cross-shaped flowers and leafy sprays. Narrow guard stripes in dusty rose and walnut frame it. The pile is low, and a few pale specks show in the field. It settles a quiet room in dusty rose and khaki, and the walnut star gives the eye a place to rest. At 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. 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 before weaving began are the marks of Tabriz work. This rug has a centered star medallion, an ivory border that turns cleanly at each corner, and vines laid out across the whole field. Its dusty rose spandrels reach down both long sides, so the khaki field sits inside a rose frame with pointed ends.\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":68028427403577,"sku":"AL_11216_245x358","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11216_1.jpg?v=1794190720","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11216-8x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
