Product code: Handmade Turkish shops rug, 22
This is an mid-century Turkish rug. It is hand knotted with all wool fiber on a cotton warp and weft as are the majority of all oriental rugs. Many Afghan and Caucasian rugs are all wool and some Turkish and Iranian rugs are silk but comparatively few. The design is geometric in nature with some foral aspects and the dyes used are not synthetic. It is a country rug not made in a city factory but likely made shops by one person on a home loom. It has a central field with a small central medallion. It has approximately 64 hand tied knots per square inch, making it a coarse to medium fine rug. It is tan, white, dark brown, and bluish green. This rug is in excellent condition for its age, has no spots worn to the foundation and has no stains. I have been selling on eBay for 24 years and have 100% feedback under the username “acanthus”. Oriental rugs need not be so expensive but be aware of machine made rugs as well as factory made hand-tied rugs using petrochemicals and poorly paid labor.
