$ on request  Sold
A wonderful old tribal rug from Central Turkey with very dense and extremely long and shaggy pile. "Yatak" is the Turkish word for bed and that is what this rug is. Despite its age, it appears to have spent most of its life in storage, surviving in excellent condition. The very long and dense pile hides the extremely detailed design which is visible from the back of the rug. A truly authentic tribal weaving.
