Rows of hooked cream diamonds catch the eye first on this wonderful rug. Within a terracotta field, a loose lattice of dark brown vines carries small leaves, little bird figures and stepped diamonds in cream and steel blue. There is no medallion: the field is an all-over repeat, with handsome hooked diamonds and sage tree forms set in rows. The beautiful main border has a dark brown ground, set with hooked stars in steel blue, terracotta and cream. A cream guard stripe of small linked cartouches runs along its inner side, and a running hook in cream and terracotta frames the outer edge. The rug is flat-woven, and the design stays crisp out to the edges. It brings the warmth of terracotta and dark brown into a room, with steel blue and sage to cool it. At 8'2" by 11'4", 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. 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. 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 palette that reads warm and chalky. This rug keeps that geometry throughout, with stepped diamonds, hooked stars and angular vines, and nothing floral in its design. Its colors lean the same way: terracotta and cream with a chalky steel blue and sage. The dark brown border closes the design in a firm frame, with a cream band of cartouches between it and 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.
