An open cream field sits inside a delicate floral border on this lovely rug. At the center, a wide cream field sits open and plain, framed by a delicate floral border. The middle of the rug remains entirely clear of pattern, with no central motif to break the space. The drawing gathers at the edges, where a thin black line forms a rectangular frame around the field. Pretty sage green leaves and brown tendrils climb along it, clustering at the four corners and along the sides. The border runs straight into the open ground with no guard stripes. A light antique wash left the drawing sharp while easing the colors. Full pile covers the rug. Sage notes hold against the pale ground in a bright entry. At 3'9" by 7'2", it fits an entry, a hallway corner or the space beside a 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 Isparta rugs
The state-owned Sumerbank took over the Isparta carpet factory in 1943 and backed carpet making by hand there with new technology. Isparta lies in the lake country of southwestern Turkey, where workshops through the twentieth century wove Persian-influenced floral designs in a distinctly Turkish palette. The palette is chalkier and softer, with more cream and rose than the deep madder of Persia. These are town rugs, not tribal ones, so the drawing is orderly and the field tends to read calm from across a room. This piece reflects that order in its precise floral frame. The open cream field and the soft sage leaves hold the gentle tone of the region.

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.
