A column of hooked, cream-edged medallions runs the full length of this lovely rug. Stepped chevron bands in gold, sage and dark brown fill the walnut field on either side of them. The medallions are stepped hexagons, alternating walnut and sage grounds, each ringed by a hooked band of cream and dark brown. Inside them sit cream and gold hexagons, dotted diamonds and long cross forms with hooked arms. A handsome dark brown border carries a chain of small hexagons in gold, sage and walnut, with a cream star set here and there. Narrow cream guard stripes, one sawtooth and one checked, frame it on either side. The rug is flat-woven and has been professionally washed and cleaned. It suits a long passage in warm lamplight, letting the gold and sage brighten all that walnut. At 4'7" by 13'9", 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. Flat-woven wool, 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. Its shared character is geometry over floral drawing. These were house rugs, woven to be used. This rug keeps to that geometry from end to end, with hooked outlines, stepped hexagons and chevron bands all built from straight steps. Its medallions alternate walnut and sage grounds down the whole length, and the flat weave gives every hook and sawtooth a sharp edge.

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.
