Fragment of an antique KONYA carpet - nr. 500 -

Fragment of an antique Turkish Konya carpet, applied to canvas as a panel. It dates back to the first half of the 19th century: an important date for a carpet, much more perishable than other art objects. It was woven in Konya, historically known as Iconium, the most important city of the Anatolian plateau. It was the capital of the Seljuk Sultanate and then of the Ottoman Empire in the 15th century. Its carpets are famous all over the world. This fragment measures cm. 112 x 95, on the panel of cm. 135 x 116. For a collector, it can replace or accompany an important painting. Interesting price because I would like to close the business.
