Product code: Handmade order 28
This is a mid-century Turkish rug. It is hand knotted with all wool fiber on a cotton warp and weft as are the majority of all oriental rugs. Many Afghan rugs are all wool and some Turkish and Iranian rugs have a silk base. The design is geometric in nature and the dyes used are not synthetic. It is a country rug not made in a city factory but likely made by one person on a home loom. It is a squarish rug with a small central medallion. The colors are salmon, light green, brown, black and blue and are all muted and understated. There are quite a few stylized figures and one of the four borders has an unusual black background. This rug is in good condition for its order age, has no spots worn to the foundation and has no stains. This rug has approximately 100 knots per square inch making it medium woven. I have been selling on eBay for 24 years and have 100% feedback under the name Acanthus. Oriental rugs need not be so expensive but be aware of machine made rugs as well as factory made.
