The gold diamond medallion is the first thing to catch the eye on this delightful rug. On a pale green field, rosettes in cream, gold and muted pink float among leafy sprays, slender branches and small stepped motifs. At the center sits a handsome diamond medallion with a smooth gold frame, holding a band of camel hooks around a lattice of small triangles. Flower heads on short stems sit above and below it. The main border has a pale green ground set with graceful flower sprays in muted pink, gold and cream. Two cream guard stripes flank it: the inner one carries a zigzag leafy vine between saw-tooth edges, and the outer one a row of small rosettes. The flat weave is whole, and the colors stay clear across the field and both borders. It grounds a light room, the pale green and cream setting off the gold at its center. At 7'10" by 9'10", 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. Flat-woven wool, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Anatolian rugs
So many western Anatolian carpets shipped to Europe in the 1600s and 1700s were given to churches in Romania and Hungary that they became known as “Transylvanian” carpets. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. Its palette reads warm and chalky: cream, rose, soft green. This rug shares that palette, with cream bands framing a pale green field and muted pink in many of the rosettes. Its medallion is the most geometric part of the design, a gold diamond with a band of hooks around a core of small triangles. The field and the main border around it carry flower sprays, leaves and branches, set in mirrored pairs on either side of the center.

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.
