Ivory Turkish Medallion Rug

6' 1'' x 10' 1'' | 186 cm x 308 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1960s Turkish Isparta medallion rug unfolds a visual narrative of subtle elegance through its nearly monochromatic palette. The hand-knotted wool displays intricate patterns that have mellowed beautifully over time. Against a pale ivory canvas, faded remnants of the original design create a composition where vintage character and contemporary sensibility converge.

COLORS & DETAILS

Pale ivory dominates the field, meeting warm beige and taupe in the border and medallion outlines. Whispers of mauve appear unexpectedly throughout, adding dimension to the understated color story. The delicate outlines of the traditional medallion and corner motifs blend gently into the background, creating a layered visual depth where patterns reveal themselves gradually rather than immediately.

PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE

Our commitment to authentic representation guides every image. Studio lighting captures the rug's true essence, while showroom photographs in natural sunlight may display warmer undertones. Each piece appears exactly as it exists, without digital manipulation or enhancement.

CONDITION

This vintage piece has been professionally cleaned to preserve its distinctive character while ensuring its beauty for years to come. Upon arrival, simply unroll your rug in any dry area—indoors or outdoors—and allow the natural wool fibers to acclimate after transit. This brief resting period helps the rug adapt to its new environment before taking its place in your home.

Heritage and Craftsmanship

The Isparta region holds a significant place in Turkish weaving traditions, known for its refined floral designs and meticulous craftsmanship. These workshop rugs often incorporated classical Persian-inspired motifs, translated through a distinctly Turkish sensibility that values balance and harmonious composition.

Design Elements

This exemplary Isparta features a traditional medallion-and-corner layout that has gracefully transformed with time. Delicate floral tracery and scrolling vines, hallmarks of Isparta weaving, appear rendered in a nearly tonal palette that speaks to their age. The medallion centers the composition with formal elegance, while corner spandrels create visual balance and frame the field with architectural precision.

Placement

The 6' 1'' x 10' 1'' dimensions make this rug versatile for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining spaces. Its neutral ivory and beige palette creates a sophisticated foundation for diverse interior styles, particularly those embracing calm neutrals and refined simplicity. The subtle patterning provides quiet visual interest without competing with other design elements.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the rug's beauty:

  • Rotate periodically for even wear

  • Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting

  • Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing

  • Professional cleaning recommended annually

  • Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity

Turkish Isparta rugs represent a fascinating chapter in Eastern Mediterranean weaving history. Their balanced compositions and refined patterns create pieces that transcend trends, bringing understated elegance and timeless appeal to contemporary interiors.
