A large lobed medallion sits on the terracotta field of this charming rug. Vines and small blossoms in cream, steel blue and gray brown cover the terracotta field. A large lobed medallion sits at the center, its core a small diamond shape filled with fine floral marks. Scalloped spandrels curve into each corner, holding cream and blue motifs against the warm ground. The main border runs in steel blue, set with small geometric figures and rosettes in cream and dark brown. Narrow guard stripes of diagonal dashes in dark brown and cream frame the border on both sides. Over the field the terracotta reads paler, and the foundation shows where the pile runs low. It suits a room with warm wood tones, the steel blue border cooling the terracotta field. At 6'1" by 9'9", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen 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 Manisa rugs
Kula carpets, from Manisa province, are studied in two periods: the “palace carpet” period from the 17th century to the 1860s, and the years after, when foreign influence shows. Almost every household in Demirci, a district of Manisa, has been known to keep a carpet loom. Manisa lies inland from the Aegean coast, and its weaving sits between two traditions. You find the geometric medallions of Anatolian village work and the softer floral borders of the western workshops in the same rug. This piece shows that meeting, with a central lobed medallion and floral spandrels filling the corners, all worked in a simple line. The terracotta ground and steel blue border give it warmth and contrast, and the plain drawing suits a rug made for daily use.

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.
