Hand-knotted in wool, a 5x8 vintage rug from an innovative Turkish atelier entering Rug & Kilims commemorative Mid-Century Pasha Collection. This alluring piece enjoys a distinguished position among the artists works with European neo classical inspirations, bordering on Art Nouveau. The fabulous play of beige-brown complements the elaborate floral & medallion cartouche pattern in a distressed low pile against pink and beautifully subdued green hues. Originating from Turkey circa 1960-1970, a design in good condition for this shabby elegance, distressed-aesthetic lineage, worthy of sophisticated projects yearning a piece subtly inspired by Aubussons and French classics.
