Rows of gray brown motifs repeat from end to end across this charming rug. At the center, curled arch shapes alternate with pretty star rosettes, flowers seen from above, on a stone field. The plan is an all-over repeat with no medallion, row after row down the length, set as a loose lattice. A handsome cream border runs wide around it, carrying a sparse line of gray brown dots, short stems and small hooked forms. A narrow guard stripe of small gray brown motifs closes the field, and a thin band of the same color edges the rug. The pile is low across the rug, and a few pale patches show in the field and the border. It brings stone, cream and gray brown into a room as one calm surface, easy beside pale wood and white walls. At 5'5" by 9'2", 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
Carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them, an Ottoman report of 1917 notes. The state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. Isparta rugs are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field tends to read calm from across a room. This rug shows that order in its field, where one arch and rosette unit repeats in straight rows. The stone and cream ground and the gray brown pattern keep the whole face in one calm key. Its wide cream border is open and lightly set, a few dots and stems spaced along it, so the dense field sits inside a clear pale frame.

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.
