{"product_id":"star-and-octagon-medallion-carpet","title":"Star and Octagon Medallion Carpet","description":"The source of carpet comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eOrient Star - A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.161\u003c\/strong\u003e. This exceptionally elegant and unusual central \u003cem\u003eoctagon\u003c\/em\u003e figure is enclosed by an \u003cem\u003eeight-pointed star-design\u003c\/em\u003e 16th-century carpet from the West Turkey area. This carpet is unusual because, the first impression is that a 2-1-2 composition, as is often found in court and workshop carpets of the 16th and 17th centuries. A significant difference; In 2-1-2 compositions the central figure is always an octagon, however, this carpet's octagon, in addition, is enclosed by an eight-pointed star design. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas, a tradition that dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period of time. The design of this rug is interpreted and our designers choose soft colors for this rug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  6 colors in total, most used 4 colors are\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMandys Pink \u003c\/strong\u003e 522 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Sky Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 (Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRusset \u003c\/strong\u003e 519 (Pomegranate - Turkish Henna)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700743438632,"sku":"ART00416","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00416_anatolia_V-scaled_v2_ca056ad6-5be2-4302-9f84-321df1655ee0.jpg?v=1776121795","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/star-and-octagon-medallion-carpet","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
