Antique Turkish Oushak Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a wool foundation. The light blue field displays a Persianate all-over Harshang pattern of fringed and hooked polygons resembling ragged palmettes. A central rust-hooked lozenge connects the crossbar to the field. The ivory border features hooked squares and broken octagons, with a plain light blue outermost stripe. The piece has a moderately long pile and an uncommon field tone, with a coarse weave and higher pile.
