The source of carpet comes from the book Orient Star - A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.135. This exceptionally elegant, large medallion-pattern design 17th-century carpet from the Konya region, Central Anatolia area of Turkey. Vine scrolls surrounding the brusquely outlined central fields, the border drawing, and the palette are characteristic of yellow-ground Konya carpets. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets and kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas, a tradition that dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period of time. The design of this carpet is interpreted and the most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this carpet.
