A camel border of blue flower sprays frames this lovely rug and its red field. Small flower heads, leafy sprays and gold palmettes cover the mahogany red field in loose rows. There is no medallion: the pattern repeats over the whole field, with small blue blossoms and olive leaves tucked between. The handsome main border has a camel ground, carrying red flower heads and blue sprays joined by graceful vines. Narrow olive guard stripes run along either side of it. The pile is worn low across much of the field, and the foundation shows through in places. A pale line runs down the center of the field. It grounds a reading corner, where the mahogany red and gold sit warmly against the camel frame. At 4'8" by 8'1", 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
Isparta was one of only five places where the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers, the big carpet exporter of the day, had workshops of its own in 1909. Until 2008 the Isparta carpet factory was still working, a center of the craft for a wide region. Isparta rugs are town rugs rather than tribal ones. They keep an orderly drawing, and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that order: its small flowers and gold palmettes repeat in loose rows, and the red field settles into one warm tone at a distance. The camel border sets a light frame around it, with red flower heads and blue sprays alternating along all four sides, linked by a winding olive vine.

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.
