Asteria - 5'3" x 8'8"
Distressed Vintage Turkish Isparta Rug
5'3" x 8'8" | 160 cm x 263 cm
OVERVIEW
This exceptional Turkish Isparta rug, crafted circa 1950s, is hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation with a low pile/shaved texture. This piece features a serene palette of beige and cream, with delicate faded sage and ecru accents.
COLORS & DETAILS
The field features a light beige base that has mellowed to elegant cream tones. Subtle traces of faded sage appear throughout, while ecru accents emerge in the border pattern.
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE
Our product photography preserves absolute authenticity - studio photographs capture the rug's true colors, while our showroom lifestyle images, captured in natural sunlight, carry a warmer tone. We believe in presenting our pieces exactly as they are, without digital enhancement or retouching.
CONDITION
This vintage treasure has been professionally cleaned and prepared for its new home. As with all handcrafted vintage pieces, subtle variations in pattern and texture speak to its authentic character rather than serve as imperfections. Any delivery creases will naturally settle within days of laying flat. We recommend allowing the rug to breathe in fresh air (and gentle sunlight if possible) for a few hours after delivery, as organic wool benefits from this natural conditioning process.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Isparta region of Turkey is renowned for its refined rug-making tradition, particularly celebrated for elegant floral designs. These workshop pieces reflect a sophisticated blend of Turkish artistry and European influences, resulting in rugs that are both graceful and timeless.
Design Elements
The design showcases an all-over floral pattern characteristic of refined Isparta workshop production. Small rosette motifs, traditionally symbolizing beauty and feminine grace in Turkish weaving, dance across the field. The border contains a classic floral vine pattern, representing the continuity of life and nature. The natural aging process has transformed the original patterns into a beautifully muted composition, creating the coveted vintage patina that collectors seek.
Placement
The 5'3" x 8'8" dimensions make this rug perfect for intimate living spaces, bedrooms, or as a sophisticated accent in dining areas. The subtle palette of beige, cream, and faded sage creates a versatile foundation that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
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
Isparta rugs are prized for their refined craftsmanship and elegant designs. These pieces bring a touch of sophistication to any space while maintaining their durability and timeless appeal.
