8210 · 5'9" x 9'5" Turkish Manisa Area Rug

One large medallion sits at the center of this charming rug. The pale gray cream field shows faint vines and small blossoms in faded red and gray brown. One large medallion at the center holds loose floral forms within curling leaves, and long pendants extend above and below. Long red-brown scrolls frame the center, and a graceful floral garland runs around the edge. There is no wide border; a narrow band of tiny flowers closes the field. No color is left at strength: a full antique wash has taken the rug to one pale level. Pile runs low in spots across the center, with pale foundation showing. Faded red and gray tones stay pale throughout the piece. At 5'9" by 9'5", 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.
