15010 · 5'1" x 8'5" Turkish Isparta Area Rug

Streaks of rust and smoke gray run through this lovely rug from end to end. From across a room the field reads chestnut, with faded vines, leaves and flower heads worked in dark brown across it. There is no medallion: the drawing is a loose all-over scatter, faint in some places and clearer in others. The ground shifts in streaks and patches between rust and gray, so the color moves as the eye travels down the rug. A single thin dark brown line marks the edge of the field. Beyond it, the main border is a handsome plain band of smoke gray, warmed by rust streaks and carrying no pattern of its own. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows as fine ribbing in many places. It settles into a room of warm browns and grays, its rust and smoke gray tones quiet and muted. At 5'1" by 8'5", 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.
