Teal and plum set side by side give this lovely rug its quiet glow. At the center, a lobed teal medallion with pointed ends sits on a plum field, ringed by graceful teal sprays. Teal pendants crowned with small blossoms extend above and below it, along the length of the rug. Handsome teal spandrels with scrolled edges close the field, and each holds a plum flower head in its outer corner. The main border is teal, set with plum rosettes and curling leaves in dark teal and pine green. Narrow guard stripes in dark teal, picked out with small dark motifs, run along either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and small flecks of the foundation show through the field. It holds a room in cool teal, while the plum center adds a deep, warm note. At 5'9" by 8'11", 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
Since 1850 carpet weaving in Isparta has passed through many stages, and it was the Oriental Carpet Company that first carried its carpets overseas. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. 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 shares that order. The medallion, its pendants and the spandrels sit in balance around the center, and the plum ground stays open between the sprays. From across a room, the field reads as a calm plum ground held inside teal. Teal repeats from the border into the medallion, and plum returns in the border rosettes.

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.
