Antique Kutaya Or Kutalaya Rug, 114 X 203 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool/wool, Ottoman Empire, Türkiye

Antique Kutaya rug also called Kutalya, in wool on wool, hand knotted very finely.
The pile is in very good condition, however it has an old restoration at the bottom right in the red medallion.
I specify that this piece was hung on a wall.
Originally from Turkey, knotted at the very end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century, period of the Ottoman Empire.
Decor composed of three long central medallions placed side by side.
In the center, a red medallion, followed by a dark blue, surrounded by a bronze green, tending towards an old dark gold, weighted with two small pendants.
They are inspired by Oushak rugs with a central medallion decorated with a wide variety of patterns.
The whole is taken in a diamond-shaped field with dark red stairs.
Four two-tone spandrels close the whole, red and blue with flower sowing, trees of life, highlighted with ivory.
A wide border with a clever green design bronze, taking on an old gold color in full light surrounds this piece. It is sown with many patterns, flowers including carnations, symbol of carpet knotters in Turkey.
This bronze green border is lined with five very ornate braids.
# Note the two boards, closing the top and bottom of the field, colored, silver and dark red with decoration of small niches and cypresses.
At both ends the carpet is closed by a kilim finish, blue, white and red, followed by long fringes in fine wool on one end. The whole makes up a wool on wool carpet of very high quality.
Fine and elegant model, accompanied by an unusual complex decoration.
Piece in very good condition, for enlightened amateur.
The restoration in no way affects the quality and beauty of this sublime Ottoman artifact.
# I offer another Kutaya in silk from the 19th century on proantic page 7 of my gallery, visible on the last photo.
