About the Item

78132 Antique Turkish Sparta Rug, 08'10 x 11'07. Step into the world of exclusivity and heritage with this hand-knotted wool distressed antique Turkish Sparta rug—an opulent creation that echoes the grandeur of Anatolia’s most revered weaving traditions. Inspired by the legendary Shah Abbas pattern, this rug is more than an artifact; it is a woven manuscript of culture, artistry, and devotion. Crafted in Sparta, Turkey, during an era when rug weaving flourished under the influence of Greek Orthodox artisans, it embodies the confluence of civilizations and faiths, yielding a rare expression of artistry that few can ever hope to own. To possess such a piece is to align oneself with a legacy reserved for true connoisseurs. Its abrashed burgundy red field, softened by time, holds the iconic Shah Abbas arabesques and lotus blossoms in quiet majesty. The rhythm of its Herati border weaves whispers of Persia into its Anatolian soul, while the floral meander guard borders reveal layers of symbolism steeped in Turkmen influences of the 12th century. Each weathered motif has aged into patina, embodying both resilience and refinement. It is this timeless dialogue between the ornate and the understated that makes this exceptional Sparta rug so irresistibly compelling—a masterpiece that transcends function to become a symbol of cultivated taste. This antique-worn Sparta rug exudes rustic elegance and laid-back luxury, harmonizing with interiors that embrace both grandeur and informality. Imagine it spread across the timbered floors of a mountainside chalet, softening the echoes of ancient stone in a European castle, or lending soul to a refined country estate. Its distressed composition is not a flaw but a testament to authenticity, a narrative thread connecting centuries of weavers, patrons, and collectors. In this convergence of time and style, this exquisite work of art achieves the rare feat of being at once historic and perfectly attuned to the modern ethos of organic luxury. Scarce in today’s market, this precious antique Turkish Sparta rug is more than a decorative piece—it is a vessel of symbolic value, embodying prosperity, artistry, and cultural continuity. Its presence conveys not only refinement but also a commitment to the preservation of heritage, an act of social good that extends beyond ownership. For those who seek status not in the ostentation of the new, but in the reverence of the rare, this cherished treasure offers an unparalleled opportunity. To acquire it is to inherit a fragment of Anatolian history, a living artwork that transforms space into sanctuary and possession into privilege. Rendered in variegated shades of burgundy red, navy blue, brown, raspberry red, blue and tan with other accent colors. Distressed. Age Wear. Abrash. Areas of Low Pile. Hand knotted  wool.
