Notes: 
This is an authentic handmade rug. It was made in Turkey around the 1920s or before. It has very fine wool quality. An absolutely amazing handwoven Turkish Oushak Gallery/Runner with unusual repeated medallions flowers. 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.
