Shifting tones of ivory and sand give this lovely rug its quiet, cloudy face. Within an ivory field, broad patches of sand and stone drift from one end to the other. There is no medallion, and the field stays one open plane. Faint outlines of a large pattern remain, traced in paler cream lines across the surface. Lighter blocks and darker sand patches give the open field a gentle movement. The pile is low across the whole face, and pale specks of the foundation show through in fine lines. It brings a calm sweep of ivory and sand to a big room, leaving the furniture and art to carry the stronger color. At 9'8" by 12'8", 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
In the first half of 1911 the company workshop in Isparta wove about 12,318 square meters of carpet, more than any other workshop of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. 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. These are town rugs rather than tribal ones, and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that chalky palette and that calm field. Its ivory ground carries broad patches of sand and stone, with faint paler cream lines tracing a large pattern across the surface.

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.
