Smoky shades of slate and charcoal give this charming rug its quiet depth. Across a slate field, faint floral shapes in charcoal and mauve come and go, with flecks of blue caught between them. A darker patch near the center hints at a medallion, though its outline is too faint to name with any shape. The wide charcoal border carries the same ghostly floral drawing, picked out in smoke gray. Several narrow guard stripes run along it on either side, clearest down the long edges of the rug. The pile is low across the whole face, and the foundation shows through in many places. It slips into a modern room with gray walls and pale wood, letting the slate and mauve tones set a calm, shaded mood. At 9'1" by 12'6", 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
A single agency in Isparta had about 25,294 square meters of carpet woven in homes in the first half of 1911, the busiest agent of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. 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. As town rugs rather than tribal ones, they keep an orderly drawing. This rug shares that floral spirit, with blossom shapes and a framed field still traceable across the gray. It also holds a calm, squared frame: a wide border and several narrow stripes set around the slate field, with charcoal and smoke gray carrying the whole rug.

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.
