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. This tradition 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 rug is interpreted and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
