15015 · 5'5" x 10' Turkish Isparta Area Rug

This lovely rug catches the eye first with its red field of scattered blossoms. From across a room the field reads faded red, and closer in it is a dense repeat of small blossoms, palmettes and curling dark blue leaves. There is no medallion: the pattern repeats over the whole field, and the red reads paler down the center. The main border is a handsome band of cream and muted pink, set with red and blue rosettes and small sprays. A slate blue guard stripe frames the field, and a narrow outer guard carries a chain of small leaves. The pile is low across much of the field, and the foundation shows through in pale streaks. It reads as a warm red ground in a room, with the cream border and blue accents keeping it light. At 5'5" by 10', 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.
