3'9" x 9'5" (114cm x 287cm) Turkey, Central Anatolia: Mid-20th Century Wool pile on wool/cotton foundation: wool
$3,250 Sold
A great old rug from Central Turkey, featuring an archaic design of stylized arches within arches, well-known from many weavings of this prolific region.
Though we call this a "tulu", it is not shaggy as those rugs tend to be. The design is rendered in almost architectural quality and the minimalist color palette indicates this is an older, finer example of the type.
