The slate blue palmettes on pink are what first catch the eye on this lovely rug. Within a muted pink field, delicate brown vines link cream rosettes, sage leaves and slate blue palmettes from end to end. The field is an all-over repeat with no medallion, mirrored on either side of a quiet center line. The cream main border carries a handsome run of leafy sprays and small flower heads, flecked with brown and slate blue. Narrow guard stripes of brown and cream frame it on both sides. The pile is low across the rug, and a few pale spots show in the field. It slips into a calm bedroom with cream bedding, where the pink and the slate blue stay gentle together. At 5'3" by 9'5", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
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
Carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them, an Ottoman report of 1917 notes. Isparta sits in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, and its workshops spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. That palette is softer and chalkier, with more cream and rose. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug keeps that floral field and that chalky palette, with muted pink and cream throughout. Its slate blue palmettes give the eye cool points to rest on, set in matching pairs down the field.

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.
