Hand-Knotted Turkish Accent Rug
Item Details
A hand-knotted Turkish accent rug. This semi-curvilinear wool rug is rendered in a markedly abrashed palette of rose, saffron, cream, and brown. It begins with a pendant medallion seeded with a palmette and grounded in cream. The medallion rests on a rose-colored field, which is populated with sprays of flowers, lancet leaves, palmettes, and vines. The field is cornered by unusual, squared spandrels grounded in saffron. Framing the field are compound borders including a primary border featuring large palmettes and stylized vines over cream. Selvedges are triple-overcast, while top and bottom finish with ivory wool warp fringe. It is unlabeled.
