Large cream and salmon blossoms float across this lovely rug on a cool gray ground. The steel gray field is filled with large palmettes, rosettes and leafy blossoms in cream, sage and salmon, joined by curling vines. There is no medallion, and the open floral pattern runs over the whole field. Pale sage leaves and small salmon buds fill the spaces between the larger flowers. The main border repeats the steel gray ground, carrying cream and salmon flower heads on a graceful scrolling vine. Cream guard stripes frame it on both sides, set with small salmon and gray sprigs. The pile is low across the rug. It holds a large room with quiet ease, its gray and cream warmed by touches of salmon. At 10'2" by 16'1", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
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
Since 1850 carpet weaving in Isparta has passed through many stages, and it was the Oriental Carpet Company that first carried its carpets overseas. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette, chalkier and softer, with more cream. 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 soft, chalky palette, with cream and salmon set on steel gray. Its large flowers are spaced well apart, and the gray ground shows between them, so the field reads open and quiet.

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.
