Yuntdag
Mid 19th century, 222 x 157 cm, North West Anatolia, Bergama region
This village rug is from the mountainous region of Yuntdag situated south of Bergama and north of Manisa. Various antique examples have been discovered in local mosques. A number of different design types are encountered in this group. Here, a huge, light green shield medallion enclosing a blue medallion of analogous shape as its central motif takes up almost the entire surface of the field. In addition to the soft, floppy knotting structure and specific colours, the vine drawn in a distinctive style bearing geometric, stylised palmettes and diagonal leaves is a reliable identifying feature of the provenance. The carpet was published by Bausback as early as 1978. – Replaced cords on both sides, slight signs of age and wear, good overall condition.
