Rows of cream rosettes frame this charming runner on every side. Flowering plants, small hearts and tiny sprays fill the sage field in a single column down its length. There is no medallion. Near each end stands a tall camel plant with graceful forked branches and a cream rosette at its crown. At the center, a brown rosette tops a pale stem set with small sprigs. Just above it, a hooked camel motif holds muted pink flowers. Muted pink hearts and tiny cream flowers sit in the gaps between them. The handsome sage border is wide, carrying a row of cream rosettes along each side, most with brown centers. A narrow cream zigzag guard stripe runs around the field. The flat weave is whole, with a few faint gray marks near the ends. It suits a light hallway, where the sage, cream and muted pink stay quiet and clear. At 3' by 12'2", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Flat-woven wool, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Anatolian rugs
The carpets called “Holbein” were woven in Anatolia as early as the 14th century and became popular in Europe from the 15th century on. 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, with a chalky palette of cream, rose and soft green. This runner keeps that geometry: its plants and flowers are built from straight lines, hooks and small stepped diamonds. Its sage, cream and muted pink share that chalky warmth. Its border repeats one flower head all the way round, set off from the field by a zigzag line.

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.
