[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 995020, member: 60"]Komo, I looked up the design in that oriental carpet identifier book that I picked up for free a while back. The book does not include modern rugs, it gives descriptions of the origins of carpet designs. The design in your rug was originally from the beginning of the Ottoman Empire and included animals and birds. "During the second half of the 15th century, the depiction of merely geometrically patterned pieces became more frequent, especially including variants on the octagon within the style that came to be known as Holbein carpets, or the contrasting octagons and foliate crosses of the Lotto pattern." Here are some Google images of the Lotto patterns: [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=lotto+pattern+rugs&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiMrLj8sf7kAhWDRxUIHW3iC7MQ_AUIEygC&biw=1280&bih=597&dpr=1.5[/URL] Google images of the Holbein pattern.
