{"product_id":"11235-9x13-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"11235 - Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug 9'5\" x 12'8\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA teal medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug and draws the eye first. Within a smoke gray field, dark brown outlines carry graceful flowering sprays, small teal and violet blossoms and scattered crescents. The stepped teal medallion holds brown rosettes around a smoke gray core, and it rests inside a larger lobed medallion of warm brown edged with dark flower chains. Teardrop pendants sit above and below it, each tipped with a fan of dark teal leaves. Leafy sprays hang inward from the top corners, and flowering branches rise from an outlined vase in each bottom corner. The main border shares the smoke gray ground, set with rosettes, flower sprays and angular vines in brown, teal and violet. Dark brown guard stripes with gray dots and small crosses frame it on both sides. The pile is worn low across the field, and the foundation shows through in places. The dense drawing in brown and teal settles easily into a warm room, and the medallion gives it one cool center. At 9'5\" by 12'8\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, and its workshops spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that order: a centered medallion, pendants on one axis, and corner sprays that mirror from left to right. Its smoke gray ground holds the flowers lightly, and the teal medallion gives the one strong note. The border repeats the field’s brown and violet flowers in a steady band.\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":68049451745593,"sku":"AL_11235_288x385","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11235_1.jpg?v=1794375768","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11235-9x13-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
