{"product_id":"15012-4x7-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","title":"15012 - Turkish Anatolian Area Rug 3'8\" x 7'3\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wide gold border frames the bright red center of this lovely rug. Worked on a deep red field, a large stepped lozenge holds two linked medallions. Each is a stepped diamond with an olive core around a small rosette, outlined in blue, and the pair meet at a point. A pretty flower spray hangs at each end as a pendant. Beautiful indigo spandrels fill the four corners, each set with a small quartered diamond. The main border is gold, carrying rows of stepped triangles and small flower heads in red and blue. Guard stripes run on either side, with red dots and a fine vine inside and a chain of blue dots at the outer edge. The pile is low, and pale flecks show across the red field. It reads as a bright, warm accent, with the gold border and indigo corners framing all that red. At 3'8\" by 7'3\", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carpets called “Holbein” were woven in Anatolia as early as the 14th century and became popular in Europe from the 15th century on. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing, and these were house rugs, woven to be used. This rug is all geometry: a stepped red field holds two linked medallions that mirror each other along the center line. The four corner diamonds pair off, two quartered in blue and green at one end and two in blue and brown at the other. Around them, the gold border keeps its stepped triangles and small red and blue flower heads in a steady line to the edges.\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":68056791679289,"sku":"AP_15012_113x222","price":530.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/15012_1.jpg?v=1794448757","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/15012-4x7-turkish-handmade-anatolian-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
