{"product_id":"11252-10x15-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11252 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'10\" x 15'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA broad dusty rose medallion opens at the center of this lovely rug. Slate blue carries the whole field, worked over with fine teal vines and flower sprays. The medallion is a large lobed shape, with a smaller slate blue medallion at its core and pointed ends at the top and the bottom. Pale gray spandrels fill the four corners, each holding graceful scrolling vines in teal. The handsome main border is gray, set with a row of rosettes and small cartouches in slate blue. Narrow guard stripes in charcoal run along it on either side. The pile is low across the face. It grounds a large room in cool slate blue, while the dusty rose center brings a gentle warmth. At 9'10\" 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\u003eIsma’il, the first Safavid shah, was crowned in Tabriz in 1501. Medallion carpet designs of the 16th century are usually associated with Tabriz, then the Safavid capital and the seat of the royal design workshops. 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 vine scrolls filling the corner spandrels around it. Its border turns cleanly at each corner, and slate blue and dusty rose share the face with gray and teal.\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.
