{"product_id":"11253-9x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11253 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'1\" x 12'2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe teal medallion and stepped teal corners catch the eye first on this lovely rug. Small flower heads and fine vine scrolls cover the smoke gray field, which turns gray brown in places. At the center sits a beautiful lobed medallion on a teal ground, with a gray beige core and pendants above and below. Large stepped spandrels fill the four corners, their teal grounds carrying scrolling arabesques and curled leaves. The main border runs a graceful leafy vine on smoke gray, with walnut flower heads and lobed palmettes between its turns. Narrow gray brown guard stripes frame it on both sides. The pile is low across the whole rug, and the foundation shows in pale flecks throughout. It brings a calm smoke gray into a room, and the teal medallion keeps the eye at its center. At 9'1\" by 12'2\", 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 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: the medallion sits squarely at the center, and the border turns cleanly at each corner. Its stepped spandrels mirror one another, and teal carries the eye from the corners to the medallion and back. Across the field, small flower heads and fine scrolls stay clear under the smoke gray.\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":68031436489017,"sku":"AL_11253_276x370","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/11253_1.jpg?v=1794213854","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/11253-9x12-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
