THIS IS A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL PALACE-SIZED ANATOLIAN TURKISH CARPET,

IT WAS MADE APPROXIMATELY 50 YEARS AGO (CIRCA 1950'S) IN Anatolia, TURKEY. CLOSE TO KONYA IN CAPPADOCIA, IN THE VILLAGE OF TASPINAR. IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED, IS TO ALL INTENTS 'BRAND NEW'. IT HAS HANDSPUN WOOL AND NATURAL DYES, TOTALLY HAND-MADE TAKING 18 MONTHS TO CRAFT.

In weaving crafting terms, any carpet (not rug) over 12 feet long is generally termed "palace size"

IT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT HAS FIRST SPRING SEASON LAMBS WOOL, GREAT INDIGO BLUES, VIBRANT MADDER ROOT REDS AND VERY INTERESTING GREENS IN THE BORDERS. THE DETAIL WORK IN THIS RUG IS AMAZINGLY EXCEPTIONAL, YOU'LL WONDER HOW THE WEAVER MANAGED TO FOCUS ON SUCH MINUTAI', I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE WORDS, THE BORDER WORK IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL, EXCEPTIONAL !

Exact dimensions are 13' X 7' 8".
