Rows of large brown rosettes run down the lilac field of this charming rug. The lilac field carries an all-over repeat with no medallion, and thin dark vines link smaller rosettes and leafy sprays in brown and gray beige. Narrow dark guard stripes frame the field on every side. The wide gray beige border carries a scroll of brown flowers and leaves, with pale blue blossoms set along it. The pile is low, and pale specks show across the field. It brings soft lilac, brown and gray beige into a room with light wood and white walls. At 4'8" by 8'4", 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
Under the name “Isparta quality” the carpets of Isparta were famous in the early years of the Turkish Republic. In its day the Isparta Carpet Palace was the largest carpet exchange in 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 shows that order in its steady rows of rosettes on an open lilac ground. The warm brown of the flowers sits softly against the cool lilac.

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.
