No Reserve - 17th Century Ottoman Textile Embroidery Rug 6 ft x 3 ft 2 in (1.83 m x 0.97 m) - Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs No Reserve - 17th Century Ottoman Textile Embroidery Rug Size: 6 ft x 3 ft 2 in (1.83 m x 0.97 m) Provenance: Property of late Donald Gant estate A refined yet rustic 17th-century Ottoman textile embroidery from Turkey, this extraordinary piece reads as much as a work of art as a functional textile. Its warm tones laid against a soft cream ground create a gently luminous juxtaposition, while the allover design ? blossoming vine scrolls, alternating paisleys, and flowers with vivid red petals ? unfolds across three long, narrow portions demarcated by dynamic borders. Each motif bears the endearing asymmetry of handcraft: slightly off true, quietly imperfect, and utterly beguiling when experienced as a whole. Light and delicate rather than lavish, this antique Ottoman embroidery carries a quietly sophisticated charm that rewards close attention.
