Three stepped medallions in red and dark brown run down the center of this lovely rug. Within a sand field, graceful flowering vines in red, gray and gold spread out around them. The top medallion is red, edged in dark brown, with a gray core holding a small star. The middle one has a dark brown ground around a gray core, and the bottom one is red with a gray outline and a dark brown center. Between the middle and bottom medallions, a line of red lettering reads HOSGELDINIZ, Turkish for welcome. The handsome red border carries scrolling vines, gold palmettes and small rosettes. Its scalloped inner edge sends flower sprays reaching into the field. The pile is low. It reads as a calm sand ground framed in red, and its gray and gold sit easily with both cool and warm furnishings. At 6'6" by 11'1", 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 Sivas rugs
Marco Polo named Savast, the Armenian form of Sebaste, today’s Sivas, among the chief cities of a land whose people wove the finest carpets in the world. Researchers call the carpets woven in Sivas between the 13th and 19th centuries the “traditional Sivas carpet,” and those woven after them the “workshop type.” This rug sets three stepped medallions in a single column, red, dark brown and red again, with a line of red lettering between the lower two. Wide stretches of sand are left open between its flowering vines, so the field reads calm. The red border wraps the whole field in scrolling flowers, and its scalloped inner edge sends sprays reaching in.

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.
