A similar example can be seen in the collection of the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts, (Ferenc Batári: Ottoman Turkish Carpets, The Collections of the Museum of Applied Arts, Budapest, Budapest, 1994, No.142, p.198). Both that example and the present lot fall into a distinctive group of Kula rugs often known as "kömürcü" or "carbon" due to their brown ground colour, (Batári: op cit, p.26). However, this example has a wonderfully rich royal blue field which highlights the decorative stylised floral sprays at each end which derive from the Ottoman quatre fleurs style of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
