Turkish Bag / 22965

This Turkish Bag antique rug measures 1' 5" x 4' 7" and presents a striking balance of ornament and restraint. Two patterned end panels frame a dark, grounded centre, while ivory lattice diamonds, red floral borders, and small accents in purple and navy bring clarity to the composition. The decorative tassels add movement and a distinctly tactile presence. With low distress and an age-softened surface, it carries the quiet character of an early handwoven textile. Circa 1850 - 1865, this piece reads as both utilitarian and expressive, shaped by time yet still visually crisp.
