On the Design:

The central star-shaped medallion emerges from a faded pink field, rendered in soft sage green, red and cream tones that speak to its age and character. The medallion's internal design features angular floral interpretations and stepped elements typical of Turkish village weaving traditions, while the field displays subtle secondary motifs that create depth and movement throughout the design. Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will further appreciate a notable cream white accent at play among the humble, yet rich palette in this piece—a subversive, yet classic look almost like that of antique Oushak rugs in its inspiration. Keen eyes for detail will love this subversive way to approach an old-world design, while anyone can appreciate its unique classic look, detail, movement and phenomenal range of colors in kind.

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
