Cream, dusty rose and steel blue meet in hard steps across this lovely rug. Comb motifs in steel blue and cream, graceful cream sprigs and small dark green hooks fill the dusty rose field around the medallion. The beautiful medallion is a tall cream frame with stepped ends, its dusty rose core holding a gold and steel blue cluster between hooked blue and cream forms. A small stepped pendant in dusty rose sits in each cream end, its center picked out in steel blue. The main border runs on a cream ground, set with hooked cartouches that alternate steel blue and dusty rose, each holding small diamonds. Guard stripes of tiny dusty rose and steel blue diamonds, lined in dark green, run on either side. The pile is low across the whole face. It brings warm rose and cream into a room, with steel blue in the border to cool them. At 6'7" by 8'11", 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 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. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing, with a warm, chalky palette of cream, rose, soft green and madder. This rug keeps that geometry throughout, from the stepped medallion to the hooked cartouches of the border. Its palette sits in the same range, cream and dusty rose with dark green outlines. Steel blue runs through the border and the guard stripes, and gold marks the very center.

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.
