Ribbon bows and garlands frame a calm cream oval in this lovely rug. Within a stone field, a fine cream lattice of diamonds runs edge to edge, each diamond set with a small cream dot. A plain cream oval medallion sits at the center, its ground left open with nothing worked inside. The wide cream border turns at rounded corners and carries graceful leafy garlands in sage, tied at intervals with ribbon bows. Beyond it, a plain olive band runs out to the edge on all four sides. The pile is low across the rug, and a few darker patches show in the olive band. It holds a quiet room, the stone and cream ground and the sage garlands keeping the floor soft and light. At 9'6" by 12'10", 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.
About Isparta rugs
The state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. The palette runs chalky and soft, with plenty of cream. These are town rugs, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that chalky, soft palette, with cream, stone and sage and no strong color anywhere. Its layout is orderly too: a lattice field, an open oval at the center, and a border of ribbon bows and garlands that rounds each corner.

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.
