This lovely rug carries a red lattice down the whole length of its navy field. Pink vases of flowers and light blue sprigs fill the navy field, each vase set in an ogival compartment of interlaced red bands. The pattern repeats from end to end as an all-over lattice with no medallion. The wide main border has a sand ground, carrying a handsome scroll of red vines with large light blue leaf sprays and small blossoms. Red guard stripes set with light blue sprigs run on either side of it, and a narrow navy band closes the outer edge. The pile is low across the field and the border. It holds its place in a long room, the navy field settling the red lattice while the sand border lifts the edges. At 6'9" by 16'1", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen 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 Isparta rugs
An Ottoman report of 1917 notes that carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them. The Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. These are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field tends to read calm from across a room. This rug shares that orderly drawing, with one vase and lattice unit repeated in rows across the whole navy field. Its border is the busiest part, a sand band of scrolling red vines and light blue leaves between red guard stripes.

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.
