This wonderful rug sets five octagonal medallions in a column down its red field. Hooked frames and stepped motifs fill the deep red field from end to end. The beautiful octagonal medallions alternate in ground, three in blue and two in mauve, each with a small oval rosette at its core. Stepped hooks in turquoise, green and red climb around each core. A band of curled hooks rings every medallion, turquoise on the blue ones and mauve on the others. The handsome blue border carries a row of eight-pointed stars in red and mauve. Sawtooth guard stripes in turquoise and mauve run along both sides of it. The pile is high across the field and the border. It holds a long passage in strong red and blue, with turquoise and green lifting each center. At 4'6" by 12'1", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.
Every 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 & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Anatolian rugs
The carpets called “Holbein” were woven in Anatolia as early as the 14th century and became popular in Europe from the 15th century on. So many western Anatolian carpets shipped to Europe in the 1600s and 1700s were given to churches in Romania and Hungary that they became known as “Transylvanian” carpets. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing. This rug keeps that geometry in its octagonal medallions, its stepped hooks and its eight-pointed border stars. The softer notes are the small oval rosettes at each core and the curled hooks that ring each medallion. Its colors sit at full strength, a clear red field against a blue border, with mauve and turquoise passing between them.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
