About this rug

This lovely rug sets a stone field inside a soft muted pink border. From across a room the field reads stone, and up close it fills with a repeat of gray brown vines, leaves and small blossoms. There is no medallion, and the graceful vines repeat across the whole field, touched here and there with muted pink. The handsome main border runs on a muted pink ground, set with small cream rosettes and gray brown sprays. Narrow gray brown guard stripes, dotted with cream, frame the border on either side. The pile is low across the rug, and a few pale patches show in the field. It slips into a quiet room of linen and pale wood, where the stone, cream and muted pink stay soft and light. At 5'3" by 8'8", 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

Until 2008 the Isparta carpet factory was still working, a center of the craft for a wide region. The workshops of Isparta, in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, spent the twentieth century weaving floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. That palette runs softer and chalkier, favoring cream and rose. As town rugs rather than tribal ones, they keep an orderly drawing, and the field usually reads calm from across a room. This rug shares that soft palette, its stone field framed by a muted pink border. Its gray brown vines repeat in close, orderly rows across the field, and the dotted guard stripes give the edge a fine, beaded line.

The Craft

Made 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.
