This lovely rug opens with a warm field full of scrolling flowers. On a clay field, graceful vines curl between palmettes, rosettes and leaves in navy, cream and gold. There is no medallion; the field is an all-over repeat, with a column of larger rosettes running down the center. Small navy buds dot the vines between them. The handsome cream border carries a scrolling vine of blossoms and leaves. Steel blue guard stripes with a small repeating motif frame it on both sides. The pile runs low across the field, and the foundation shows through in pale patches near the center. It reads as a warm clay red ground, with the cream border and steel blue guards keeping it light. At 4'10" by 9'1", 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
An Ottoman report of 1917 notes that carpet weaving gave work to poor families in Isparta, Burdur and places like them. The Isparta Yarn Factory was founded in 1924, in the first years of the Turkish Republic, with the support of Isparta entrepreneurs. 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 vines, palmettes and rosettes repeat in balanced rows over the clay ground, and the larger rosettes line up along the center. Navy and gold accents stay small, so the red holds the eye. The cream border and its steel blue guard stripes give the field a clear frame 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.
