19th Century Turkish Angora Oushak Carpet
The four layered spearhead cypresses of the ivory border frame the palest powder blue ground set within rich goldenrod corners. A central vertical stem of palmettes is supported by smaller palmette and lozenge trails. At each end of the field is a triple leaf-cartouche motif in goldenrod and dark brown which breaks into the main border. Cypresses and corners are Persianate, the field pattern is distinctively Oushak.
