15018 · 5'11" x 9'4" Turkish Isparta Area Rug

The strong red field is the first thing to catch the eye on this lovely rug. At the center, a round medallion sits on a red field scattered with sage rosettes, flower sprays and slender slate blue sprigs, and its paler patches read rose. The medallion holds clusters of rose and sage blossoms crossed by fine slate blue hooked lines. Smaller sprays continue above and below it, and pointed slate blue sprays close the column at both ends, their tips aimed outward toward the ends of the rug. The handsome main border has a muted pink ground carrying graceful scrolling vines and small flower heads in slate blue. A narrow slate blue guard stripe runs between the border and the field, and a thin red line edges the outside. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows through in pale streaks across the field. It grounds a sitting area in warm red, and the slate blue sprigs cool it. At 5'11" by 9'4", 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.
