71968 Antique Turkish Sparta Rug, 09'09 x 12'00.

Infused with opulent intricacies, a symphony of harmonious hues unfolds in this hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Sparta rug, a captivating ode to the Romantic Art Nouveau style. The canvas, adorned in a soft, romantic pink, unveils a starburst medallion at its heart, embraced by 16 palmettes and a palmette finial, each adorned with the delicate touch of a serrated cloudband at their poetic ends.

Embark on a visual journey through an enchanting tapestry of nature-inspired elements — a mesmerizing all-over floral pattern. Blooming palmettes, delicate floral sprigs, gracefully trailing leafy tendrils, and a dance of botanical formations and arabesque vines grace the pink-hued field with timeless elegance. Delicate floral vases, originating from corner spandrels, reach into the field, their silhouettes outlined in a delicate blue garland wreath, adding a touch of mystique to this romantic tableau.

The narrative extends to the periphery, where the antique Turkish rug is embraced by an arabesque palmette Herati border, a poetic frame that seamlessly merges with triple inner and outer floral guard borders. This composition, born from the spirit of Romantic Art Nouveau, invites you to immerse yourself in an evocative world of beauty, where every thread weaves a tale of timeless allure and artistic refinement.
