{"product_id":"11227-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11227 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'6\" x 13'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lovely rug pairs a crowded ivory field with a wide brick red border. Over the ivory field, graceful red vines scroll in every direction, carrying palmettes, rosettes and sprays of small flowers. Large curling leaves in dark green turn between them. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, and pale blue ribbons loop around its center. The handsome border carries a fine scrolling vine and a row of palmettes in ivory and blue. Camel guard stripes run on either side of it, set with small flower heads. A small inscription cartouche sits in the outer guard at one end. The pile is low, and a few patches have worn low where the foundation shows. It brings the brick red of the border and the quiet ivory of the field to a large dining or sitting room. At 9'6\" by 13', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTabriz weavers tie their knots with a small hooked knife instead of their fingers, and have been timed at faster than one knot a second. Tabriz in northwestern Persia has a city workshop tradition, and the discipline of the drawing shows it. The vine scrolls follow a plan laid out in full before weaving began. Tabriz workshops also worked in a wider palette than most, so ivory, stone and pale blue grounds turn up beside the reds. This rug has that ivory ground set beside red, and its vines mirror from side to side and end to end. The border turns cleanly at each corner, and the camel guard stripes frame the field with a quiet line.\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":68032619872569,"sku":"AL_11227_290x395","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11227_1.jpg?v=1794238987","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11227-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
