A lobed medallion with a sunburst core sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Worked on a brick red field, graceful curling vines carry flower heads, blue tulips and long sickle leaves in sage and cream. Its lobes are outlined in dark blue around a central rosette, and a palmette pendant sits above and below it on a slim stem. Half palmettes close the field at the top and the bottom. A handsome cream border carries a scroll of palmettes and flower heads in red, sage and dark blue. Steel blue guard stripes run on either side of it, set with small flowers. The pile is low, and the foundation shows in places across the field. It grounds a quiet room, its brick red framed in cream and cooled by steel blue. 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
By 1909 the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers, the big carpet export company of the day, had workshops in five places, and Isparta was one of them. In the first half of 1911 its Isparta workshop wove more carpet than any of the others, about 12,318 square meters. 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 order: its field is mirrored around the medallion, top to bottom and side to side. The sage leaves and blue tulips come in matched pairs, and the curling vines link them to the center. A narrow steel blue stripe runs between the brick red field and the cream border, framing the field on all four sides.

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.
