8189 · 6'5" x 9'5" Turkish Isparta Area Rug

A scalloped medallion with a rose star makes this a lovely rug. On a cream field, scrolling vines and flower heads in burgundy, rose and brown spread out from the center. A large scalloped medallion holds a rose star with a small blue flower at its heart, and a pendant at each end. Splendid spandrels at each corner hold a cream leaf cartouche against dark brown and burgundy. The main border is dusty rose, carrying cream leaf motifs and small blue sprigs. Narrow beige guard stripes with fine brown lines flank the border. A few patches have worn low across the field. The dense drawing fills the space with burgundy and rose notes, and a few blue accents break up the cream ground. At 6'5" by 9'5", 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.
