8781 · 5'6" x 9'6" Turkish Isparta Area Rug

Lovely sprays circle a tan medallion with lobed edges. Worked on a dusty rose field, cream and sage sprays circle the central medallion. At the center sits a tan medallion with lobed edges and a cream core ringed by pink petals around a small sage star, and floral sprays above and below. A wide cream frame, clipped at the corners, carries graceful sage leaves and flowers in pink and yellow. The gorgeous main border runs dark brown, set with cream leaves and small dots. A thin near-black line edges the cream frame. Pile runs low in spots over the field, with the foundation showing through in a few patches. A light antique wash has eased the colors and left the drawing clear. The dense drawing holds the room together, and the wide cream frame keeps the rose from reading heavy. At 5'6" by 9'6", 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.
