{"product_id":"15038-5x9-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","title":"15038 - Turkish Isparta Area Rug 5'5\" x 9'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lobed medallion at the heart of this lovely rug catches the eye first. On a red field, graceful flowering vines in sage green and charcoal branch out on both sides of the center. The medallion is a long lobed shape in gray beige with notched edges, holding a stepped sage green ring around a small oval core. Stacked lozenge pendants run toward each end, finishing in a small spray. Large gray beige spandrels fill the four corners, worked with dark vines and edged in sage green. A handsome clay border carries a row of dark rosettes and leafy sprays in charcoal and sage. Narrow sage green guard stripes with a small zigzag line run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows in places. It slips into a room of warm wood tones, the red field held in balance by the gray beige corners. At 5'5\" by 9', it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. As town rugs rather than tribal ones, Isparta rugs keep an orderly drawing, and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that orderly drawing: the medallion, its pendants and the four spandrels mirror one another from top to bottom and from side to side. Open red ground around the vines gives the field room to breathe. The red carries the strongest color, while the clay border and gray beige corners frame it in quieter tones. Sage green outlines run through every part, from the medallion’s inner ring to the guard stripes.\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":68057881575737,"sku":"AP_15038_165x274","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1005\/6964\/5369\/files\/15038_1.jpg?v=1794455469","url":"https:\/\/storiedrugs.com\/products\/15038-5x9-turkish-handmade-isparta-vintage-rug","provider":"Storied Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
