A cream medallion lights the center of this lovely rug. Within a faded red field, graceful sprays of sage and dark green flowers spread out to a scalloped edge. The lobed medallion holds small sage and muted pink blossoms inside a ring of dark green leaves, with a floral pendant above and below. Cream spandrels with sage vines fill the four corners. The handsome main border has a cream ground and carries a running vine of dark green leaves and small muted pink flowers. Narrow guard stripes in muted pink and sage frame it on both sides. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows in fine pale lines through the red. It grounds a living room or bedroom in red and cream, with the sage leaves keeping the warmth gentle. At 5'11" by 9'6", 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.
About Isparta rugs
In the first half of 1911 the company workshop in Isparta wove about 12,318 square meters of carpet, more than any other workshop of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. The largest carpet exchange in Turkey in its day was the Isparta Carpet Palace. Isparta rugs are town rugs rather than tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that order. The medallion sits square in the middle, and each corner and each end of the red field mirrors the one across from it. The flowers are spaced apart, so the faded red ground comes through between them. The cream border repeats one vine all the way around, its dark green leaves and muted pink blossoms set at a steady pace.

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.
