A round slate blue medallion sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Set in a deep red field, graceful flowering sprays in blue, teal and green reach out from the center. The medallion is a ring of slate blue around a lavender core of small flowers, with a rosette pendant above and below. Beautiful lavender spandrels fill the four corners, outlined in teal and holding scrolling leaves and blue flower heads. The main border is slate blue, carrying small red and green flower heads in a running line. Narrow guard stripes of small dark green leaves run along either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and pale streaks cross the red field in places. It suits a room of cool grays and plums, where the deep red and the slate blue can sit easily together. At 5'11" by 9'5", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.
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
The story goes that the Yamut, a tribe of Seljuk Oghuz Turks who settled around Isparta, developed carpet weaving there, and that their rugs were known as “yamut” rugs. Isparta rugs are town rugs rather than tribal ones, and they keep an orderly drawing. This rug shares that order: one round medallion at the center, a spandrel in each corner, and flowering sprays set in matching pairs on either side. From across a room the deep red field reads calm, with the slate blue frame closing it on all four sides. Close to, the blue of the border reaches into the medallion and the spandrels, so the same cool color rings the red at the center and at every edge.

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.
