About the Item

This early 20th-century Persian Sparta rug is a captivating example of the rich weaving tradition from Isparta, a historic city in southwestern Turkey. Hand-knotted by skilled artisans, Sparta rugs are renowned for their luxurious wool, intricate designs, and vibrant colors. This exquisite piece features a large, elongated central medallion adorned with highly stylized floral and scrolling vine motifs, interspersed with delicately woven leaves. The medallion is surrounded by a field brimming with even more scrolling vines and flowers, creating a harmonious and dynamic pattern. The wide border, beautifully framing the composition, repeats a large-scale floral and stylized leaf motif, emphasizing the rug’s balanced aesthetic. The color palette—shades of indigo, crimson, green, yellow, and pink—reflects the use of natural vegetable dyes, lending the rug a rich, time-worn patina. Valued for their durability and decorative appeal, Sparta rugs are celebrated for blending traditional Persian influences with Turkish craftsmanship.
