{"product_id":"15035-5x9-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"15035 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 5'6\" x 8'11\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dark brown medallion with a cream oval heart centers this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads light gray, and closer in it is ivory, strewn with graceful garlands of vines and flowers in sand and gray brown. The medallion itself is lobed, with small pendants at the top and bottom, and its cream oval core holds a bouquet of flowers. A line of small cream dots rings the oval. In each corner, the brown of the border steps in around a handsome cream oval cartouche filled with flowers. The main border has a brown ground carrying rosettes, leafy sprays and pale blossoms in cream and sand, with a larger bloom at the center of each end. A cream guard stripe with small brown sprigs runs around the outside. The pile is low across the whole rug. It brings brown and cream into a quiet room, and the dark center gives the pale field a strong point to settle around. At 5'6\" by 8'11\", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them, an Ottoman report of 1917 notes. The state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. Isparta rugs are town rugs rather than tribal ones, and they keep an orderly drawing, with a field that reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that order, with matching corners and garlands set around a single medallion, and its pale field stays calm. Brown and cream carry the whole design, from the dark ring of the medallion to the sprigs in the outer guard stripe. The border repeats its rosettes and sprays at a steady pace on every side.\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":68057868894521,"sku":"AP_15035_167x273","price":460.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/15035_1.jpg?v=1794454917","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/15035-5x9-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
