We are proud to offer this fine example of early 20th Century Traditional Oriental weaving. Measuring 6'5'' x 4'6" (196 cms x 137 cms) and weighing over 8 kgs, this rug has been skillfully and finely woven according to traditional design patterns in Orrange, Soft Blue and Soft Pink naturally sourced and vegetable dyed sheep wool. Produced by nomads and villagers in Far South Eastern Anatolia circa 1930s, these stunning Oriental rugs are some of the few that merge both nomadic and village weaving techniques. Finely woven and intricately patterned, this rug is more influenced by the fine Oriental weavings intended for commercial trade than the more rudimentary utilitarian village rugs made for domestic use. The quality and condition of this rug is first class as the top grade sheep wool colored by natural/vegetable dyes used in its' construction and the skill of the weaver have that  the longevity and beauty of the rug is preserved, even though it has most certainly "outlived" the shepherds, shearers, spinners, dyers, craftsmen and artists who all contributed to its' creation
