A soft oval medallion floats on the pale blue gray field of this lovely rug. The medallion has a soft brown outer ring of flowers around a pale blue center with a small flower spray. Garlands and sprays of flowers in brown, gray and soft gold curve through the field around it. Soft brown corner pieces with curling leaves fill the four corners. The soft brown border carries small flowers between narrow pale guard stripes. The pile is low, and the whole rug keeps a cool, muted tone. It suits a quiet bedroom or living room in gray, blue and soft brown. At 5'8" by 9'6", 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
A single agency in Isparta had about 25,294 square meters of carpet woven in homes in the first half of 1911, the busiest agent of the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers. The Isparta Carpet Palace was in its day the largest carpet exchange in its region and in all of Turkey. These 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 calm, with one medallion set in an open, pale field. It is hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation from about the 1970s, and it has been professionally washed and cleaned.

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.
