Antique Turkish Ghiordes Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. This nearly square western Turkish carpet presents an allover pattern of alternating wide and narrow vertical stripes in shades of ecru, pale green, soft red, and straw yellow. Palmettes on tendrils accent the cane-like bands. There is no appreciable border, making placement easy and allowing the piece to work equally well with traditional or contemporary furnishings.
