{"product_id":"15015-5x10-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"15015 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 5'5\" x 10'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lovely rug catches the eye first with its red field of scattered blossoms. From across a room the field reads faded red, and closer in it is a dense repeat of small blossoms, palmettes and curling dark blue leaves. There is no medallion: the pattern repeats over the whole field, and the red reads paler down the center. The main border is a handsome band of cream and muted pink, set with red and blue rosettes and small sprays. A slate blue guard stripe frames the field, and a narrow outer guard carries a chain of small leaves. The pile is low across much of the field, and the foundation shows through in pale streaks. It reads as a warm red ground in a room, with the cream border and blue accents keeping it light. At 5'5\" by 10', it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. The Isparta Carpet Palace was in its day the largest carpet exchange in its region and in all of Turkey. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, and its workshops spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. That palette is softer and chalkier, with more cream and rose. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly. This rug keeps that orderly floral drawing, a steady repeat of blossoms and palmettes across the whole field. Its wide border brings in the cream and muted pink, with slate blue lines set between the field and the border.\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":68055524213049,"sku":"AP_15015_166x305","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/15015_1.jpg?v=1794441833","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/15015-5x10-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
