{"product_id":"11232-11x15-turkish-handmade-oushak-vintage-rug","title":"11232 - Turkish Oushak Oversized Rug 11'6\" x 15'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA single navy medallion floats at the center of this lovely rug. Across a pale gray brown field, the ground is left open, a quiet expanse around the center. The medallion is a long navy hexagon, closely worked with rows of small rose and gold flowers. A fine stem runs from each tip to a small rosette and a handsome tulip-shaped pendant. Navy spandrels with stepped edges fill the four corners, worked with the same small flowers. A beautiful main border carries a chain of hooked diamonds and lozenges in rose, gold and navy. A narrow rose guard stripe edges the field, and navy guard stripes with small flower heads run on either side of the border. Beyond them, a wide camel band frames the whole rug. The pile is low across the rug, and the field shows faint darker patches in places. It slips into a large dining room, where the open gray brown center lets the navy and rose border carry the color. At 11'6\" by 15', it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art calls its Star Oushak of the late 1400s one of the earliest, largest and best preserved carpets of its type. A similar carpet lies under the throne of the Venetian doge in a painting by Paris Bordone of 1534, and another under the feet of Henry VIII. This rug builds its whole design from a few clear parts: an open field, a single navy medallion, four stepped corners and a busy border. The color gathers at the center and the edges, and the pale gray brown field between them stays quiet. A wide camel band runs around the outside, a broad plain frame for the rose, gold and navy border inside it.\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.
