A stunning Karapinar runner distinguished by a precious aubergine purple background, a colour which we almost invariably see sparingly used in specific details and which is associated with good age and great quality. The pattern of cartouches containing stylised tulips and carnations in typical of the earliest Karapinar village rugs.
