A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This "Turkish Tabriz" features a slate blue-grey field with open arabesque cartouches, each pinched twice, layered beneath a secondary set of rust-colored, sawtooth-edged arabesques. Rosettes and palmettes of varying sizes and styles unify the composition. The rust-red main border showcases shield-shaped palmettes accented with an appealing green. One of the finer large Sivas carpets.
