This lovely rug centers on a cream star set inside a rose medallion. Over a beige field, graceful scrolling vines carry palmettes and rosettes in rose, cream, blue and pale green. The medallion has a lobed outline, its rose ground worked with fine blue scrolls around the cream star at its core. Handsome blue and cream spandrels fill the four corners, set with lobed flower heads and small green sprays. The main border is rose, with a row of blue and cream rosettes joined by a pale vine. Guard stripes of blue scrolling vine run along either side of it. The pile is low across the face. The dense drawing settles into a calm beige from across the room, while the rose border and blue corners give it a soft frame. At 9'3" by 13'7", 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 carpets of Isparta, known as “Isparta quality,” were famous in the early years of the Turkish Republic. The workshops of Isparta, in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. That palette runs softer and chalkier, favoring cream and rose. As town rugs rather than tribal ones, they keep an orderly drawing. This rug shares that soft palette, with cream and rose carried through the medallion, the border and the scrolling vines of the field. Its drawing stays orderly, and the beige field reads calm from across a room. Blue gathers in the four corners and the guard stripes, a cool note around the rose border.

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.
