(High-Collectible) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Traditionally woven for the weaver’s family, Turkish Megri rugs display a unique fusion of Anatolian and Balkan designs, as Turkish weavers who resettled in Anatolia nearly two hundred years ago brought Macedonian designs into their pattern language, thereby incorporating numerous spiritually symbolic elements into a cultural melting pot. The singular design of this visually stunning 120-year-old Megri is arranged in a diptych format, with two contrasting Macedonian-inspired panel designs: one a series of geometricized blossoms, the other a Tree of Life design with serrated, fan-shaped leaves. An outer, strikingly angular, meandering vine border with animal heads, and a simply drawn leaf-and-blossom inner border, dramatically frame the dyptich. The savory palette of saturated scarlet red, abundant golden ochre, and rich indigo blue is a classic favorite of the Anatolian village weavers. Touches of tangerine, coral, and aqua add further charm to the thrilling palette. Its highly unique design, compelling artistry, and historic significance, and excellent, heavier pile condition make this 175-year-old gem an essential addition to a textile folk art collection, or as a very special enhancement to the ambiance of a setting.
