Its worn-in surface and secured sides make it feel grounded from day one. The compact 2'7" x 4'9" size slips into entries, beside a bed, or under a desk with ease.

Soft focus, steady warmth

Rooms come together when the floor tells a story. The minor center medallion and arrowed finials sit on an open abrashed field, giving movement without clutter. Professionally cleaned and ready for in‑home use, this 1970s Turkish piece lends years of understated presence. Every pass of sunlight finds new silver and beige notes along the border.
