This carpet is plate 119 in Erdmann, Kurt.
Seven Hundred Years of Oriental Carpets, ed.
Hanna Erdmann. trans. M. H. Beatty and H. Herzog.
Berkeley and Los Angeles, Univ. of California,
1970. It is captianed, "Central Anatolian
(Konya ?) eighteenth century." I believe
this rug falls with-in the Karapinar Tulip group
and that it has strong ties to the Cairene
Court Kilim from the Ulu Mosque in Divrigi
style. Note the Iris flowers in the border as
well as the large tulip blossums.
The Tulips in the border reminds me of the Karapinar
Red Ground Tulip Rug from the Textile Museum
as well as theKarapinar
Tulip Rug from Ed Krayer
