Plum and blue drift together across this lovely rug from end to end. Worked on a plum field, the floral pattern shows only in faint outlines of small blossoms and leaves. Patches of blue cloud the field, heaviest toward the lower end. A handsome border runs around the field, set with a row of near-black rosettes. Thin guard stripes edge the border on both sides. The pile is low across the whole rug. It grounds a room in plum and blue, two deep colors that sit well against pale walls. At 5'5" by 8'10", 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.
About Isparta rugs
An Ottoman report of 1917 notes that carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them. The Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. 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 keeps that calm, with a small floral pattern spread over the whole plum field. The plum carries most of the surface, and the blue sits in soft clouds with no hard edges. Its ring of rosettes in the border gives the rug a quiet 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.
