On the Design:

Pink and cream tones underscore a play of open field and medallion style—particularly a large-scale central medallion, with field spandrels and borders enjoying matching geometric patterns. This traditional design has some resemblance to Oushaks of the past, both in its more feminine colors and its choice of patterns. 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. 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
