A scalloped frame of sage and white scrolls rings the open center of this lovely rug. From across a room the field reads beige, a quiet ground left open from end to end. No medallion sits on it. Instead a deep red band frames the field, carrying a handsome chain of sage green roundels joined by straight bars, each with a white dot at its core. A white line traces the chain on both sides. Past a wide beige band, the main border is deep red, broad and mostly open. Its inner edge carries the scalloped frame, with graceful pointed palmettes rising into the red at regular intervals. The pile is high across the rug, and the beige field shows a few warmer patches near its center. It holds a bedroom or study with quiet warmth, the deep red and sage green easy beside pale walls and light wood. At 4'7" by 6'3", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
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, in a warm, chalky palette. This rug puts both side by side: the chain of sage roundels runs in straight bars with square corners, while the scrolls of its outer frame curl and turn. Its center is left entirely open, a beige ground with all the pattern pushed out to the frames. Deep red fills the outer border, so the pale center sits inside a warm, broad margin.

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.
