1930s antique Sparta rug that’s got some age on her—but still full of life.
Woven with vegetable dyed wool, this piece shows the classic artistry of Sparta weaving, where medallion motifs and scrolling floral vines play across the field with quiet elegance. It’s a worn-in beauty with scattered wear throughout, softened by time but not tired. The kind of piece that feels grounded, mellow, and lived-in—in the best way.
Another stand out feature is the openness of the design—there’s a calm spaciousness in how the motifs are laid out, giving the rug a sense of breathability and grace. Unlike busier rugs that pack every inch with detail, this one leaves room to rest your eyes, making it easy to style and beautiful to live with. It has presence without ever feeling loud.
There’s visible age and patina, but the rug still holds its shape, soul, and story. Its worn-in mauve ground has mellowed over time, yet still carries a touch of vibrance. Perfect for someone who knows that charm like this can’t be factory-made. At a great value price, it’s a chance to bring home something truly old and truly good.
Low pile, scattered wear, handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
