The beige field around it is covered in small flowers and leafy vines, and its edges are cut in lobes. Navy corner pieces fill the space outside the lobes. The main border is navy, set with round rosettes and flowers, between red guard stripes. Pile runs low, and the colors are softened all over. It holds a big room well, with pale walls and dark wood furniture. At 8'4\" by 12'2\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn Ottoman report of 1917 notes that carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them. The Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. 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 keeps its navy medallion with long pendants at the center of a beige field covered in small flowers and leafy vines. The field’s edges are cut in lobes, with navy corner pieces filling the space outside them. The navy border, set with round rosettes and flowers, runs between red guard stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery 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 \u0026amp; cleaned.
