Antique Ottoman Embroidery Rug 8053

This exquisite carpet features bold, stylized designs in a limited number of vibrant colors. Featuring flower medallions and small alternating motifs, this carpet shows how the Ottomans modified Islamic ceramics and tile patterns for use in textiles. With extreme skill, precise Turkish embroidery techniques, and luminous silk threads, artisan-level crafters created blue, green, and red flowers that capture a metallic luminance.
