Five diamond medallions make this a charming rug. Worked on a beige field, five diamond medallions run down the center, their cores set in walnut and steel blue. The field is sand through the upper three and turns soft rose around the last two. Large hooked spandrels in charcoal and pale blue flank each diamond along the sides. A beautiful charcoal border carries small rosettes in cream and blue gray, set off by thin guard stripes on the inside. The pile is low and even along the length, a little thinner in spots. The colors are soft from a light antique wash, and the drawing stays clear. It grounds a long passage, where the dark frame holds the pale center steady. At 4'2" by 11'4", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
About Anatolian rugs
The nomadic herders of Turkey, the Yoruk, live in black goat-hair tents and travel between winter and summer pastures. From 1908 to 1914 the Oriental Carpet Manufacturers employed 50 to 60 thousand carpet weavers in Anatolia alone, working at home. Anatolian is the broad name for the village weaving of the Turkish interior, and it covers a lot of ground. The shared character is geometry over floral drawing, and a palette that reads warmer and chalkier than Persian work: cream, rose, soft green, madder. These were house rugs, woven to be used. This rug keeps that geometric character in its stepped diamonds and hooked spandrels, and the change from sand to rose gives the long field some movement.

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.
