Showing a Persianate pattern composed of a central medallion with quartered medallion elements in the corners, this old Turkish rug is distinguished by an ivory background and by a rich palette of decorative shades of eggplant, soft corals, peach rose and crimson. The particular quality of Anatolian rugs such as this one is that of offering a more informal traditional rug compared to the Persian version coupled with a more unusual polychromy.
