11096 · 4'11" x 5'7" Turkish Anatolian Area Rug

The gold diamond medallion at the heart of this lovely rug catches the eye first. Worked on a brick field, serrated palmettes in cream and gold ride long vine stems among hooked leaves and pretty dark blue buds. The medallion itself is a gold diamond ringed by short slanting rays, with a small cream, green and brick cross at its core. Two lobed rosettes in cream and dark green sit above and below it. The handsome cream border carries a row of hooked lozenges on brick and green grounds, with blue and gold at their centers. Gold guard stripes set with small brick and blue hooks run on either side, and a thin blue line edges the field. The pile is low across the whole rug. It grounds a reading corner, its brick and cream giving warmth to pale walls and wood floors. At 4'11" by 5'7", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
