Vintage Turkish Anatolian Room Size Carpet

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. The striking blue-green main Kufesque-style border is derived from 13th–14th century Anatolian Konya carpets. The field displays abrash ranging from red to rust and is rendered in a uniform half-drop diaper of geometric palmettes. Both minor borders feature stars-in-squares. A prototype example is held in the Turk ve Islam Eserleri Museum in Istanbul.
