On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will admire this personal vintage rug meant to catch the eye, yet still so atypical in its color and design choices that are so complementary to each other making it a comfortable, and inviting piece. The design features two distinct panels, each framed by a striking navy blue border of stylized tulip or leaf motifs that march in precise formation around cream-colored central fields. Each panel is centered by a delicate star or floral burst medallion, creating subtle focal points within the otherwise austere design. The outer border employs a series of geometric patterns in muted olive tones, providing a frame that complements rather than competes with the interior elements. This double-panel format suggests a prayer rug design influence, though simplified and abstracted to suit mid-century sensibilities. The overall effect is one of elegant simplicity, where each geometric form flows naturally into the next, creating a timeless piece that bridges classical Turkish carpet design with more contemporary sensibilities.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish rug has good condition for its age and origin. Its pile has been lowered which gives it the mild element of a distressed, shabby-chich look. See less
