{"product_id":"11219-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11219 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'6\" x 12'11\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA blue-ringed medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads beige, scattered with blue blossoms and vines in gray brown and cream. The cream medallion is a lobed diamond, its blue scrolling ring set around a beige core, with small pendants above and below. Clusters of blue blossoms fill the spandrels at the four corners. A handsome cream main border carries blue palmettes along a graceful scrolling vine, with camel leaves between them. Narrow camel guard stripes, set with small cream rosettes and fine blue lines, run on either side. The pile is low across the rug, and pale specks show where the foundation comes through. The dense drawing settles a room in quiet beige and cream, with touches of blue to lift it. At 9'6\" by 12'11\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the middle of the 1800s commercial carpet weaving revived in Persia, and Tabriz was one of its most important centers, weaving largely for Europe. The Swiss firm Ziegler, in time the biggest exporter of carpets from Persia, had its first lucky break in Tabriz in 1876. 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 keeps a centered medallion with its pendants, and its cream border turns cleanly at each corner. Vine scrolls in gray brown run across the whole beige field, with blue blossoms set along them at every turn.\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.
