A lobed slate blue medallion sits among fine scrolling vines on this charming rug. Fine scrolling vines and small blossoms fill the cream field around a splendid lobed slate blue medallion at the center. The medallion has a cream core holding a dainty pale blue flower and small green sprays, with lobed pendants at the top and bottom. Curling vine sprays in slate blue fill the four field corners. The main border is slate blue with cream scrolls, and narrow tan and pale blue stripes run beside it. A light antique wash softens the colors but leaves the drawing clear. The pile has worn low over much of the cream field. The slate blue and cream contrast gently across the surface. At 6'2" by 9'11", 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 Isparta rugs
In 1943 the Isparta carpet factory passed to the state-owned Sumerbank, which backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. It kept working until 2008. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove Persian-influenced floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. 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 orderly drawing in a single lobed medallion centered on the cream field. Slate blue gives the cream its main contrast.

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.
