Beautifully drawn early Anatolian rugs design. Ends with short fringes, secured. Selvages original. In general this rug is in very good usable condition. Woven on wool foundation. Very attractive. Born in Transylvania, Theodor Tuduc (1888-1983) was a Romanian rug restorer and famous rug forger. He made high quality, exact reproductions of antique rugs and passed them off as authentic. His technical skills were so refined that many of his, now famous, Tuduc rugs, were acquired by prestigious museums. Some of Tuduc’s reproductions include Transylvanian, Lotto, Chintamani and Spanish armorial carpets. Tuduc rugs were such great and artistic carpets that they have ironically become highly valuable by antique carpet collectors.
