Description

Mid 19th-century central Asian rug from East Turkestan with a classic triple medallion design on a red field. The medallions are filled with flower heads and pomegranates, the main border is depicting a repetitive cloud band motif, which is one of the Chinese influences in this rug. The colour scheme of this carpet is typical in its combination of terracotta-red, dark and bright blues and yellow – all natural dyes. Carpets from this area and of this age are quite rare. Some old repairs, overall good condition
