On the Design:

Connoisseurs will admire this personal vintage piece meant to catch the eye, yet it remains so atypical in its color and design choices that it feels profoundly comfortable and inviting. The ground is primarily a warm, sophisticated beige-brown, but among its many beauties and subtleties is an almost impossible, subtle hint of green that ghosts through the overall cast of creams and neutrals, lending the field an organic, atmospheric depth.

Beneath its sun-faded surface, the rug enjoys a ghostly play of geometric patterns in various subtle tones. One can still trace the regal outlines of a central medallion and ornate spandrels, appearing now as a submersive, impressionistic dream of its former self. Connoisseurs will further admire the use of such uncommon colors as a distinction in Turkish rugs; to achieve such a complementary look in this unique, weathered way is an exemplary trait of this design.

Condition:

This vintage Turkish rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. Its construction has been lowered to preserve its construction, which lends it the distressed look of wear and chic in a low pile. See less
