{"product_id":"manastir-rug-and-throw","title":"Manastir Rug and Throw","description":"\u003cp\u003eA genuine vintage textile with history woven into it — this Manastir carpet is a traditional Turkish flatweave throw dating from the 1950s or earlier, originating from the Thrace or European region of Turkey. The deep crimson ground is worked with geometric and floral motifs in warm but muted tones, with a fringed border that is characteristic of the style. Versatile enough to use as a bed throw, sofa cover, or floor rug, it brings an authentic boho warmth to any interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManastir carpets take their name from the town of Monastir (now Bitola, in present-day North Macedonia), a significant weaving centre whose influence extended across the broader Thrace region during the Ottoman period. The flatweave construction — typically woven on a horizontal loom using wool — produces a textile that is both durable and supple, with a weight and drape quite different from pile rugs. The geometric and stylised floral motifs are drawn from Ottoman weaving traditions, with each region developing its own colour palette and pattern conventions over generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a one-of-a-kind vintage piece, believed to date from the 1950s or before, sourced by Siesta Crafts as part of our curated selection of antique and vintage textiles. Age-related wear and variation in colour are inherent to a textile of this age and origin, and contribute to its character rather than detracting from it. As with all vintage pieces in our collection, it is individually catalogued and will not be repeated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Siesta Crafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50788699701534,"sku":"KL001","price":400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/8755\/2542\/files\/KL001_1.jpg?v=1776239952","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.siestacrafts.co.uk\/products\/manastir-rug-and-throw","provider":"Siesta Crafts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
