This early 19^th Century Central Anatolian Village rug is in all probability a Kirsehir. It measures 4’5” X 6’2”.  It has a fantastic red prayer niche with a tree of life design surrounded by green with green spandrels with two coffee urns in it, not unlike Konya. It has multiple borders in yellow, red, blue, ivory and black. The rug has wear commensurate with age mostly confined to the blacks and yellows. The corroded black testifys to the great age of this carpet. The ends and sides are complete. The beauty of this carpet has many facets including the condition and palette. It is, in my opinion, a fantastic world class rug.
