DESCRIPTION

A "Transylvanian" rug, West Anatolia, 17th century, oxidized browns, repaired foldwear slits, remnants of original end finishes, reselvaged, minor repiling, approximately 5 ft. 8 in. by 4 ft. 1 in. (1.73 by 1.24 m.)

More than eighty "Transylvanian" rugs are depicted in Flemish and Dutch paintings from between 1620 and 1680. A similar rug with a red ground star and cartouche border and a red and charcoal trefoil outer border is portrayed by Jan Verkolje the Elder (1650-1693) in Woman Nursing a Child (1675), now in the Musee du Louvre, Paris. This border is associated with the first period of Transylvanian production of the early 17th century.
