Antique Turkish Rug Red Blue Medallion Style Sparta Design 13237

Handmade with hand-knotted wool originating from Turkey circa 1890-1900, this item is an antique rug enjoying an influence from transitional Sparta rug traits, as well as a fabulous play of red and blue in a naturally arresting medallion style pattern with complementary intricacy in the tribal border meander. Connoisseurs will note the greater sense of dimensionality, subtle color diversity, and uncommon scale this piece enjoys as a large size rug of this ancestry — with equally fewer antique Sparta rugs enjoying the medallion pattern against such an open color background as this play of red and blue enjoys.
