A wool pile with symmetric knots on a cotton warp, this piece reflects a deep Turkish tradition of large, multi-niche saph carpets designed for mosque prayer halls. In vintage examples like this, the individual panel patterns are simplified to the essentials, featuring five columns of arched sections arranged in three stacked arcaded echelons. The design employs a minimalistic palette of green arcading and coral niches.
