15021 · 6' x 9'4" Turkish Isparta Area Rug

A single cool gray, carried from edge to edge, gives this charming rug its quiet face. Across a mid gray field, small charcoal motifs and sprigs are scattered close together, darker in some places and fainter in others. No clear medallion stands out, and the pattern spreads over the whole field. A handsome slate gray border frames it, carrying the same shadowy drawing. On the inside, a dark charcoal line separates the border from the field and turns square at each corner. A narrow guard stripe at the outer edge runs a chain of small near-black chevrons. The pile is low across the whole rug, and the design shows as dark outline on gray. It reads as one calm gray plane, and the charcoal outline keeps it from going flat. At 6' 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.
