A big gold medallion glows at the center of this lovely rug. Dark teal carries the whole field, with graceful orange flower sprays hanging on fine stems around the center. The handsome medallion is a lobed gold oval around a dark teal core, with a small rust rosette at its heart and scrolled pendants above and below. A wide gold border frames the field, its scalloped inner edge swelling inward at the corners and at the middle of each side. Along it, palmettes, vine scrolls and leaves are picked out in orange, rust and brown. The pile is low across the rug, and pale specks of foundation show through the teal. It grounds a dining room or a sitting area, with the gold frame warming all that dark teal. At 7'3" by 10'6", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.
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 nomadic herders of Turkey, the Yoruk, live in black goat-hair tents and travel between winter and summer pastures. From 1908 to 1914 the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers employed 50 to 60 thousand carpet weavers in Anatolia alone, working at home. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. This rug sits at the floral end of that ground, with curving scrolls, palmettes and flower sprays. Its plan is a single medallion on an open field, framed by a wide scalloped border. Two colors carry almost everything: dark teal in the field and the medallion core, gold in the medallion and the border. Orange, rust and brown fill in the finer detail, from the sprays to the palmettes.

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.
