Rows of Rosettes Rug

The source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star - A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.173. This classical shape of a rosette design 16th-century rug from the Aksaray region, Central Anatolia area, Turkey. The arrangement of rosettes and the color combination increases the charm of this rug. 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 with a series of borders and the most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this rug.
