{"product_id":"15004-5x8-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"15004 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 5'2\" x 8'6\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe round cream medallion is the first thing to catch the eye on this charming rug. Across a stone field, cream scalloped frames and sprays of cream flowers ring the center. The medallion holds rows of green and dark brown flower heads, with a dark brown leafy edge and pointed pendants above and below. A small cartouche sits beyond each pendant. Handsome gray brown spandrels fill the four corners, each holding a pretty rosette in cream and dark brown among green flower heads, inside a dark brown scrolling outline. Lobed gray brown clusters with cream lozenge centers line the long sides. A narrow gray brown border carries small cream and green flower heads, with a single cream guard stripe dotted in brown on its inner side. The pile is low across the face, and the foundation shows in places. It settles a quiet room, letting the stone and cream rest against soft touches of green. At 5'2\" by 8'6\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carpets of Isparta, known as “Isparta quality,” were famous in the early years of the Turkish Republic. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. These are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field tends to read calm from across a room. This rug shares that orderly drawing, with its round medallion, matched corners and flowers set in mirror image around the center. Its palette is chalky and soft, stone and cream with gray brown, dark brown and quiet green.\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":68055564157241,"sku":"AP_15004_158x258","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/15004_1.jpg?v=1794442830","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/15004-5x8-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
