Regular price $975.00 Sale

This Bergama rug was handwoven during the late 19th century in Western Anatolia.

It features a variety of navy latch hooked cartouches in the center and geometric polygons around the perimeter against a rich red backdrop. The polygons are filled with classic tulips rendered at 45-degree angles. The rug can be read two ways with interlocking diamonds forming in the red negative space. The whole is framed by a main border of geometric meanders in navy, ivory, and apricot on a red ground. In addition to the reds, blues, apricot, and ivory there is the subtle addition of a desirable aubergine only visible in the minor borders. This type is quite collectible with iconography influenced by both classical Turkish as well as Caucasian design.
