60723 Vintage Turkish Overdyed Rug, 09'09 x 12'05.
Modern Industrial meets Bohemian Rhapsody in this hand knotted wool vintage Turkish overdyed rug. The eclectic faded design and energetic color palette in this piece work together capturing the essence of Maximalist Industrial style layered with history. Taking center stage is a prominent quatrefoil medallion anchored with ogival pendants and outlined with delicate acanthus scrollwork. A barely-there botanical pattern composed of latticework panels, stylized florals and foliage fills the central medallion as it floats among the richly striated field. The cool tranquility of mauve and vibrant allure of hot pink balances the warm taupe hues and rich earth-tone elegance while creating a mesmerizing juxtaposition. Delicately woven corner spandrels radiate towards the center and appear to evanesce before one's eyes into the atmospheric composition. Quietly concealed yet equally compelling, an inconspicuous botanical border and meander guard borders add the finishing touch. Imbued with avant-garde style and a no-fuss design aesthetic, this vintage overdyed rug dances between the realms of Maximalism's bold form and the rustic elements of Modern Industrial style resulting in a relaxed formality with an element of boho chic.
