Konya
This is an intriguing rug. I believe it to have good age, possibly earlier than stated. The weave is floppy with 3-5 wefts of alternating colours between each row of knots. There are at least 7 different coloured wefts which affects the overall palette when seen from the front.
I love the rich colours and soft wool, the light blue has wonderful abrash with mutlicoloured diamonds floating above it.
