A stepped slate blue medallion on soft pink catches the eye first on this charming rug. Across a muted pink field, small arrowhead sprigs stand out from the medallion on every side. The medallion climbs in steps to a point at each end, with a sprig pendant at the top and the bottom. Hooked motifs ring its olive hexagon, which holds a six-armed star at the core. Lavender spandrels step in from the four corners, each set with a pretty geometric flower and a small rosette. An olive panel closes each end of the field, carrying a row of hooked flower motifs. The handsome ochre border carries stepped lavender and slate blue forms. Narrow guard stripes dotted with small points frame it on both sides. The pile is low across the face. It settles a quiet corner, the ochre border warming the pink and lavender. At 3'5" by 6'8", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside 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
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, and a palette that reads warm and chalky: cream, rose, soft green. This rug keeps to geometry throughout, from the stepped medallion and its six-armed star to the hooked flowers in the end panels. Its colors sit in that chalky range, rose in the field and soft olive in the hexagon and the panels. The ochre border runs a chain of stepped forms in lavender, slate blue and cream around the whole rug.

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.
