11152 · 10' x 13'1" Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug

A slate blue star medallion holds the center of this lovely Turkish rug. Worked on a mahogany red field, graceful vines carry blossoms, leaves and flower heads in cream, sage and rose. The medallion has a cream core set inside a stepped slate blue frame, with a smaller slate blue pendant above and below it. Cream spandrels edged in slate blue fill the four corners of the field. The handsome main border has a slate blue ground with red rosettes, cream cartouches and hooked sage scrolls. A rose guard stripe dotted with tiny flowers runs inside it, and a sage guard stripe edges the outside. The pile is low across the face, and a few patches show the foundation. It settles a dining room or a large living room, where the slate blue border cools all that mahogany red. At 10' by 13'1", 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.
