Karapinar Rug with Flowers and Greek Key Border (DK-89-24)

Offered by: Double Knot

Description
A very elegant Turkish village rug, with thick and incredibly soft pile, featuring somewhat realistically rendered flowers. A first-class example of the type. The so-called Greek key motif in the border, a rare link to the region's Graeco-Roman heritage, is originally inspired by meandering rivers - there is an actual River Meandros (Menderes) in Western Turkey.
