Covering a 4x5 near-square scale of Turkish tribal sensibilities, the rug features a symmetric geometric pattern with quarter diamonds in tones of red, brown, orange juxtaposed by white for a gorgeous play of colors on such a rich scale. The tribal motif in the borders complement the enticing sense of movement to further enrich the frame with more meaning . The aristocratic rug also has fringes on one side—uncommon for rugs of this lineage, lending a rare versatility and collectibility. Connoisseurs will further note a subtle high-low accent born of an embroidery pattern, lending an added depth and tactile allure to an eccentric motif variety. Notable symbols include the fetter arrow and s-hook, the latter widely believed to regard an ode to the love of handweaving on behalf of the creator.

Thriving in excellent condition with remarkable strength, an exemplary choice for drawing rooms, dining rooms, powder rooms, waiting halls, receptions and classic-victorian projects yearning for such style. Well suited in kind for rustic interiors welcoming a near square Kilim rug. See less
