Woven in the 1970s in Southeastern Anatolia, this 241 x 175 cm Barak rug is a feast for the eyes. Concentric orange, saffron yellow, grey-blue, and powder pink diamonds interlock across the entire surface without hierarchy, without a dominant axis, each slightly different from the others in its inner palette.
What makes this piece unforgettable is its warmth. Not the warmth of a single dominant color, but that of dozens of warm tones coexisting in an instinctive balance that only expert hands can find. Such harmony cannot be decreed; it is woven, without a net, from memory.
