Beautiful and Tribal Small 18th Century Antique Turkish Kirshehir Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1850 – Sporting bright, playful colors against a brilliant, detail-rich design, this antique Turkish Kirshehir runner rug is an attention-grabbing work of art. It showcases a highly intricate border in vivid shades of gentle plum, sage green, deep scarlet, and buttercup yellow on a background of coffee brown. The eye moves freely through the chains that dance along the ornate ridges, and the work features distinct motifs of feathered masks and pyramid-like designs. The center of this antique Turkish rug is bold, pairing two colors against one another to brighten the total design. Cerulean geometric designs and shapes are placed against a carmine background, and the combination draws the eye immediately.
