4'10" x 7'2" (147cm x 218cm) Turkey, Central Anatolia: Mid-20th Century, or earlier Knotted pile: cotton
$4,950
A beautiful old Turkish rug with a classical "garden" design featuring many imaginative forms of flora and fauna - perhaps a vision of the Garden of Eden. A particularly refined example of the type with wonderful colors. The pile is knotted with mercerized cotton which has a lustrous appearance - these rugs were often presented as silk.
