AGE & ORIGIN:

Anatolia
OVERVIEW:
I will always be enamored with distinctly village pieces like this. The dramatic use of color (superbly Anatolian), the slight wonkiness and imperfections to the weave, and the more rudimentary style of completed drawing (see the elongated and unfinished latchooks), all aspects that I continue to enjoy.
That being said, the aspect of hidden reciprocal design, especially in older rugs like this, is what takes this from a true village piece, to a work of calculated art. To learn more about these reciprocal designs, I would encourage you to watch our breakdown of it here:
Karapinar and the Hidden Design of Rugs
There is a deceptively simple design happening within this rug that to examine it closer catches even the most seasoned rug connoisseur off-guard.
CONDITION:
Good condition with some end loss and restoration to selvedges and varying lengths of pile across rug
