Antique Konya Turkish Rug 3093
Antique Konya Rug - Turkey, mid nineteenth century Though one might not
at first recognize them as such, a pattern of angular rosettes or
flowers in ivory, blue, and brown floats in nicely spaced rows on the
rich saffron field of this classic antique 'yellow ground' Konya.
Smaller quartered diamonds fill out the intervening spaces of the
field. The same diamonds recur as the border set against a brown
ground. This piece exemplified the bold, graphic drawing and stunning
color for which early Konya carpets are so prized nowadays. The brown,
in true nomadic tradition, is made from un-dyed natural wool, and so it
is thick and meaty, unlike the cored brown one mostly encounters on
antique rugs.
