On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate what an extraordinary discovery this play of open field and medallion style is in the Oushak family, let alone in a flatweave of its large, versatile square size and bold, yet minimal colorway palette in particular. This kilim enjoys an engaging array of purple, blue, and chartreuse green hues throughout its geometric borders, spandrels, and large-scale central medallion of outstanding presence and regal detail. Keen eyes will further admire the sharp execution of both the pattern and this slit weave Kilim style, full of bold, beautifully saturated colors and a clear intricacy that likely connotes a special workshop in its origins. It’s a truly one-of-a-kind design in antique Oushak rugs and flatweaves of any provenance—an exemplar of the open field design as much as a rare find for its many beauties that distinguish it from so many others in its period.
