This gorgeous antique 1880 Turkish rug has got a warm, yet neutral vibe that would be a wonderful foundational piece to design an entire space around. With remarkable and striking art that transports us back to another era when folks were much more in tune with nature, this beauty was woven by master weavers with a unique vision. The all over design incorporates tribal motifs in such a way that are whimsical, playful, and encourages onlookers to take a closer look. Eight-pointed stars fashioned as flowers can be seen throughout the main border band, promoting happiness and abundance.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, the purple dye really helps to date this rug, while the apricot ground within the border and the ivory ground in the field complement each other perfectly creating a symphony of colors that will inspire a friendly atmosphere. Depending on the lighting as seen in the pictures, the ivory ground can vary in tone, offering different styling options.
This treasure’s similarity to Turkish Oushak rugs suggests it might belong to the same region or design tradition, but the finer wool and more delicate weave distinguish it as a much higher quality piece. In excellent condition, this fabulous rug is at an economical price for its craftmanship, historical significance, rarity and artistic beauty.
Low pile, in phenomenal condition. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
