An antique Turkish Oushak room size carpet. An enormous, bold reversing turtle palmette border on a salmon-buff ground makes a powerful frame for the ivory, flower-filled stepped medallion. The end panels in the field have half-rosettes making a zig-zag design. Looks like a Heriz of the c. 1900 period, but with lighter, less saturated colors. Hand-knotted in Turkey Wool One-of-a-kind Measures: 8' 1" x 12' 0"
