8020 · 5'4" x 8'6" Turkish Manisa Area Rug

A scalloped medallion with a soft pink lattice core makes this a charming rug. Small cross-shaped sprigs, thin vines and tiny diamond shapes in muted pink and charcoal scatter across the cream field. A splendid scalloped medallion sits at the center, its core a soft pink lattice with pendants reaching toward the top and the bottom. Faint stepped corner pieces, filled with rows of small diamonds, sit at both ends of the field. The main border is a pale rose pink band, carrying delicate cream rosettes and small blossoms outlined in dark thread, with a narrow band of small diamonds inside it. A full antique wash, no color left at strength, has brought the cream and pink to one warm level. The pile is low in places, and the foundation shows through across the field. In a bright room, the pink keeps the cream from looking stark. At 5'4" by 8'6", 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. 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.
