A rare yellow Ushak carpet- West Anatolian, with allover design of palemttes and serrated leaves linked by diagonal vines, upon a 'ghost' network of paler yellow tendrils, rosette and diagonal vine main border with classical reciprocal outer guard, 3rd quarter of 19th.century, 510 x 380cm, £16,500
I have a share in this carpet (my bank balance wouldn't stretch to purchase it myself); it comes from a good private Scottish scource.
