Lovers of primitive art will be captivated by the vigorous tribal character of this irrepressible antique Turkish Yuruk rug. Its large-knotted, textured surface emphasizes its folk art roots and is energized by expressive, graphic, stylized floral motifs. Irresistible animal motifs found scattered across its broad field represent most likely horses and gazelles. This entirely one-of-a-kind some 140-year-old rug is a brilliant example of the superbly potent natural dyeing from this region, widely known for creating colors that retain their incredible depth for centuries. A striking palette of carnelian, azure, burnished gold and ochre fill this piece with celebratory expression.
