The scalloped beige center of this lovely rug is the first thing to catch the eye. Worked on a beige field, fine camel and gray brown vines curl through a large scalloped panel. At its heart sits a handsome lobed medallion in gray brown, with a salmon diamond at its core and small cream rosettes. Pointed pendants rise above and below it. Salmon spandrels fill the corners outside the panel, each holding sprays of small flowers. The beautiful gray brown border carries cream and camel rosettes and palmettes. Cream guard stripes with a chain of small rings run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows in a few spots near the center. It grounds a bedroom or a study, where the salmon corners and beige center keep the room warm and calm. At 5'3" by 8'9", 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
Carpet weaving in Isparta has passed through many stages since 1850, and its carpets first reached buyers overseas through the Oriental Carpet Company. 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 orderly drawing: its medallion, pendants and spandrels mirror one another from top to bottom and from side to side, and the beige field reads calm. The gray brown border is the darkest part of the rug, a frame that holds the salmon and beige center in place. Cream guard stripes with their chain of small rings set a clear line between the border and the field.

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.
