On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this design that features traditional design with an inspiration from Khotan Samarkand rugs and similar provenances, which have long shared a love of this medallion-meets-all-over look as the Samarkand style touched the Western market over time. The field has geometric patterns in maximized versions of the rich, time-honored colors they capture (namely the burgundy and brick red tones, which underscore blue, beige-brown and other hues that make up its field and border alike).

Admirers of the craft will appreciate the attention to color variation, particularly in the field which lends such beautifully archaic geometric patterns (like these medallions similar to the “fou” and “shou” medallions of Khotan Samarkand architectural sensibilities) a little more movement and distinction. Keen eyes for detail will admire this grandfatherly and masculine piece, and a comfortable one in kind, reflecting a special workshop and students of the craft.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. See less
