Antique Konya Turkish Rug #3091

Antique Konya Rug, Turkey, late 19th century Antique Konyas are among the most prized oriental village rug for their rich, saturated colors as well as for their bold drawing and design, and this one certainly exemplifies these qualities. Three rows of octagonal 'Memling Guls' with hooked step designs dominate the rich, fiery terracotta field, with smaller star octagons as subsidiary fillers. The narrow simple border of checkered squares yields pride of place to the field, using its soft green color to frame the complementary tones of the interior.
