Rows of small flowers and leaves cover the straw field of this charming rug. The rows repeat down the length, each one a band of pink and red blossoms, blue sprigs and green leaves. Larger olive and brown flower heads sit at both sides of every row. Dark brown leaves pair up across the middle of each band. A plain deep red border frames the field, with no guard stripes. The pile is low and worn even, so the colors look soft and a little hazy. It brings warm yellow and red into a bedroom or a reading corner. At 5'5" by 9', it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
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
Since 1850 carpet weaving in Isparta has passed through many stages, and it was the Oriental Carpet Company that first carried its carpets overseas. In its day the Isparta Carpet Palace was the largest carpet exchange in Turkey. Isparta is where this rug was made. As town rugs rather than tribal ones, they keep an orderly drawing, and the field usually reads calm from across a room. Here the order shows in the way each band of flowers repeats the one above it. The red border holds the busy field and keeps it calm.

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.
