Ottoman Cairene Medallion Carpet

John Taylor's notes on this carpet: Head and shoulders above all others in its group, the Kevorkian carpet was first auctioned at the 1925 Benguiat Sale and eventually went to the Wher Collection (or "Siesta" Collection according to Broniman). Technical information is not available, but it may have a silk foundation. It has the same high quality corner solutions as the Hapsburg Prayer, plus interlocking Saz leaves.
