Object Description
Anatolian carpets have a rich heritage of rug weaving which began in the 13th century and were amongst the first wave of Oriental carpets that were exported to Europe. Many were seen in iconic paintings of many of the European masters including Memling, Lotto and Hans Holbein. Today these decorative carpets are highly appreciated for their simple designs, soft colours and lustrous wool.
This striking example has a unique bold graphic drawing and earthy colour composition of caramel, grey, ivory and muted chocolate brown. The pattern variation in the field adds great depth and richness to the simplicity of the geometric design.
This Anatolian carpet is in very good condition for every day use, still retaining its original fringes and borders on both sides.
A timeless example with charm and character to compliment a variety of spaces.
