$ on request  Sold
An old flat-weave from Turkey, woven with an interesting and ingenious mixture of cotton rag and goat hair to create a sturdy, everyday floor cover. These are usually cut in half and made into two panel rugs - occasionally, we find an uncut piece like this, which makes a really useful long runner. (It can also be tailored easily. Please inquire.)
