Bergama In this extremely rare village rug from the Bergama region, a re-entrant design has been suggested by blue lines in the light red field, its central axis accentuated by a light green pole motif. The wide main border decorated with a geometric, stylised floral vine is striking. – Original finishes all around, remains of the kilims survive at both ends. Uniformly low pile, the corroded brown sections have been partially repiled.
