Bergama Rugs Turkish rugs Oriental Rugs Domenico Ghirlandaio' s Saint Jerome

Saint Jerome in his Study, 1480, fresco, Church of Ognissanti, Florence.

Domenico Ghirlandaio uses a rug much like the one he used in Domenic Ghirlandaio Madonna Enthroned mid 15th century.

As I looked at this it struck me that I do not recall seeing this exact border in Memling Gul carpets so I decided to blow it up and compare it to Ghirlandaio's "Madonna Enthroned"

Under magnification I see every thing in the borders of the painting of Saint Jerome that I see in "Madonna Enthroned". So while I am hampered by the resolution of the digital images I conclude that Ghirlandaio used the same rug in both pictures.
