On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this personal vintage piece 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. This rug features a strikingly modern and minimalist design, characterized by an all-over grid of intersecting diagonal lines that form a continuous diamond lattice.

The design is subtly rendered using a slightly darker, muted brown or charcoal tone against a field of gorgeous, faded slate and cement gray. The overall effect is monochromatic and textural, relying on the fine weave and the distressed patina to provide depth rather than competing colors.

Admirers of the craft will further admire the exceptional simplicity and modern appeal of this pattern, which is a rare and highly versatile find among vintage Turkish textiles. To achieve such a submersive, complementary look in this unique way is an exemplary trait in this design—with limitless interior design applications today, particularly complementing Scandinavian or minimalist decor.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
