{"product_id":"11223-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11223 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'7\" x 13'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003ePale blue scrollwork circling a dusty rose center gives this lovely rug its calm charm. Scattered flower sprays in brown and pale blue cover the dusty rose field, with open ground between them. At the center sits a handsome lobed medallion in pale blue, its scrolled outline closing in a small pendant above and below. Beautiful stepped spandrels in pale blue fill the four corners, each holding clusters of brown and sand flower heads. The wide main border has a sand ground carrying a chain of pale blue vines and small rosettes. Narrow guard stripes in smoke gray run along either side of it. The pile is low across the whole rug, and the foundation shows through in many places. It holds a room in a quiet key, its dusty rose and pale blue easy beside sand walls and pale wood. At 9'7\" by 13'3\", 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. Tabriz stood for a long period on the great caravan routes to Trebizond and Tiflis, and became the principal market of Persia for the export of rugs. Tabriz in northwestern Persia is a city workshop tradition, and it shows in the discipline of the drawing. Medallions are properly centered, borders turn cleanly at the corners, and the vine scrolls follow a plan worked out in full before weaving began. This rug keeps that order: its lobed medallion sits squarely at the center, and the border turns cleanly at each corner. Pale blue carries the medallion, the corners and the border, so the dusty rose field reads as a calm open space inside a blue frame.\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":68031388909881,"sku":"AL_11223_292x403","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11223_1.jpg?v=1794213182","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11223-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
