THE DOUBLE NICHE DESIGN OF THIS REFINED AND ELEGANT EARLY GHIORDES RUG DESCENDS FROM 16TH CENTURY AND 17TH CENTURY OTTOMAN COURT RUGS OF THE OUSHAK AND TRANSYLVANIAN TYPES. HERE THE TYPICAL CONFIGURATION OF THE NICHE IS TRNASPOSED TO CREATE A CORAL PINK OPEN FIELD THAT IS DOMINATED BY AN HEXAGONAL MEDALLION. THIS DEVISE IS TAKEN FROM THE ICONOGRAPHY OF 16TH CENTURY SMALL MEDALLION OUSHAK RUGS, AND DISTINGUISHES THS PARTICULAR TYPE OF GHIORDES. THE BOTANICAL CORNER SPANDRELS AS WELL AS THE FLORAL “ELMALI” BORDER (“APPLE” IN TURKISH), THE LATTER CONSISTING OF A PAIR OF POMEGRANATES CONNECTED TO A SICKLE LEAF, ARE ALSO CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS GROUP OF RUGS, WHICH DATE TO THE EARLY YEARS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
