8197 · 5'11" x 9'3" Turkish Manisa Area Rug

The lobed medallion of this charming rug holds a rosette at its core. Worked on an ivory field, delicate vines and small blossoms in muted pink and faded red scatter around a central form. A gorgeous lobed medallion sits at the center, its core holding a rosette, a flower seen from above, outlined in soft red. Large vine loops fill the four corners, echoing the floral scatter of the field. The main border is a pale cream band, carrying a dainty scroll of leaves and small flower heads in dark outline, with a narrow geometric band inside it. A light antique wash has eased the colors and left the drawing clear. The pale ground keeps the pink and red from standing out too sharply. At 5'11" by 9'3", 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.
