DESCRIPTION: A silk and brocaded gilt metal thread rug, Kum Kapi, Istanbul, Turkey. This carpet is very finely woven in silk on a silk foundation with highlight of metal-thread brocade. The design draws its influence from Persian Safavid ornament which can be seen in a multiple medallion carpet of Vase type, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Although it is not signed, the quality of weave, design and the intricate patterning within the metal-thread suggest that this rug was produced by one of the great masters of the Armenian Koum Kapi workshop in Istanbul. Perfect condition. Early 20th century. 235 x 150 cm. Est: Euro 53.000.-
