Handmade Antique Turkish Wool Rug: Floral Medallion, 11x8

This X Large Persian Rug measures 10 ft 8 in  x 8 ft (324 cms x 243_cms ) This artistic rug, from the late Ottoman period, has an authentic feel with its soft colors and animal figures. Completely hand-woven,  by nomads and villagers in Far South Eastern Anatolia, these stunning Oriental rugs are some of the few that merge both nomadic and village weaving techniques. Finely woven and intricately patterned, this rug is more influenced by the fine Oriental weavings intended for commercial trade than the more rudimentary utilitarian village weavings made for domestic use. The quality and condition of this rug is first class as the top grade sheep wool colored by natural/vegetable dyes used in its' construction and the skill of the weaver have that  the longevity and beauty of the rug is preserved, even though it has most certainly "outlived" the shepherds, shearers, spinners, dyers, craftsmen and artists who all contributed to its' creation
