11235 · 9'5" x 12'8" Turkish Isparta Oversized Rug

A teal medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug and draws the eye first. Within a smoke gray field, dark brown outlines carry graceful flowering sprays, small teal and violet blossoms and scattered crescents. The stepped teal medallion holds brown rosettes around a smoke gray core, and it rests inside a larger lobed medallion of warm brown edged with dark flower chains. Teardrop pendants sit above and below it, each tipped with a fan of dark teal leaves. Leafy sprays hang inward from the top corners, and flowering branches rise from an outlined vase in each bottom corner. The main border shares the smoke gray ground, set with rosettes, flower sprays and angular vines in brown, teal and violet. Dark brown guard stripes with gray dots and small crosses frame it on both sides. The pile is worn low across the field, and the foundation shows through in places. The dense drawing in brown and teal settles easily into a warm room, and the medallion gives it one cool center. At 9'5" by 12'8", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
