Anatolia / Turkey

An Absolutely Amazing hand woven Turkish Oushak carpet with unusual repeated boukuetof flowers. The colors are muted and highly stylized floral accent. originally purchased from a nice west cost collection that I consider it a great find. Ushak rugs have been in production since the 15th century with superb wools and natural dyes. Unlike other Turkish rugs, Ushak rugs influenced after Persian rugs and woven with Ghiordies knots, their design is feature intricate motifs of vines and leaves. . The overall condition is very good, minor wear consistent with age and use.
