Original Sivas-sebastia rug, Asia Minor - Lot 85
Original Sivas-sebastia rug, Asia Minor
Late 19th century.
Wool velvet on cotton backing.
A raspberry-red field provides the backdrop for this "orchard", where sumptuous trees and flowering shrubs serve as perches for a multitude of colorful birds.
These include peacocks, one of which does a cartwheel, a pheasant and ibises, each more colorful than the last.
Two ivory counter-borders with garlands of flowers and birds frame the main pistachio frame with a suite of polychrome flowers in full bloom and small deer.
Dimensions: 380 x 275 cm
