Dazkiri
Ca. 1800, 344 x 104 cm, South West Anatolia
Two large, grass-green shield medallions with yellow-and-red stepped outlines fill the salmon field to its full extent. A third medallion placed at the upper end is represented as a halved form, emphasising the infinite nature of the design. The three large forms each contain a salmon diamond enclosing a yellow cruciform motif; its outlines are decorated with white rosettes and red flowers attached to angled stems. It is easy to see that this inner medallion echoes the ornamental tradition of the older "Transylvanian" carpets. The primary motifs are accompanied by brown-ground triangles placed at the sides of the field and in the corners. A long rug of the same group has been published by Brüggemann/Böhmer. – Small repairs, very good overall condition, original finishes all around.
