A lobed medallion in cream and pale green sits on a faded red field in this lovely rug. Set within a faded red field, delicate cream vines and small blossoms curl around a central medallion. The medallion is a lobed form in cream and pale green, with scrolling leaves at its core, and a smaller cluster sits above and below it. A wide powder blue border carries pale scrolling vines, with small red flowers at its corners. Inside it, a narrow band of small brown and cream motifs runs between thin dark brown stripes. A few worn patches in the red field and the border let the foundation show. It suits a room that needs warmth, with the pale blue frame cooling the faded red center. At 6'6" by 10'10", 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
Suleiman the Magnificent sent his own son, Prince Selim, to govern Manisa in 1544, a posting that had come to mark a prince as a candidate for the throne. The carpets of Kula, in Manisa province, first appear in the 17th century, and the town made its best pieces in the 18th and 19th centuries. 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. Manisa pieces were made for houses rather than for export, which is why the sizes are practical and the drawing is unfussy. This rug sets a lobed medallion in the field and scrolling vines in the border. Its red and powder blue sit side by side in clear bands.

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.
