Turkish Rugs: Karapinar Yatak Rug from Ed Krayer

JBOC Attribution: Oriental Rugs > Turkish Rugs > Konya Area Rugs > Karapinar Rug

I told Ed Krayer A Member of Our Trusted Dealers List that I was working on Karapinar Rugs and he was gracious enough to send me a number of rug images. Ed saw this rug as a Prayer rug. He indicated that size was commiserate with use as a prayer rug.

These rugs have a distinctive pallette, compare this rug to Yatak Fragment 18th C. Rippon-Boswell lot 74
