{"product_id":"11256-10x13-persian-handmade-tabriz-vintage-rug","title":"11256 - Persian Tabriz Oversized Rug 9'9\" x 13'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cream medallion holding a full bouquet sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Over a chestnut field, graceful acanthus scrolls curl among sprays of small flowers in cream, pale blue and green. The medallion is a lobed cream cartouche with a chestnut outline, and its bouquet of roses and leaves is dotted with red flower heads. Above and below it, a flower-filled urn serves as a pendant on the long axis. Large cream spandrels curl at the corners, each holding a spray of rose and green flowers. A wide frame of cream and pale blue scrolls surrounds the field, edged inside by a guard stripe of teal beads. The handsome outer border is teal, carrying a trailing vine of cream blossoms and leaves. The teal reads paler in a few patches along both long sides. The dense drawing suits a formal room, where the chestnut, teal and cream keep a quiet warmth. At 9'9\" by 13'3\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA special court workshop, possibly at Tabriz, is credited with translating the most splendid book illuminations into carpets. Since the late 19th century a complex design has usually reached the weavers as a cartoon, laid out on squared paper with one square for each knot. 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 discipline, with the cream medallion squarely at the center and an urn of flowers above and below it. Its palette stays soft, with chestnut, cream, pale blue and teal, and small red flower heads as the brightest notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Flat-woven wool, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
