Hi Chuck,

Quchan was my first thought too, though I would not have expected this particular palette to fit my notion of the typical Quchan rug implementing oversized imitations of Turkoman guls gleaned from my past years of chasing rugs. That palette (as found in my head) was more like a slightly dulled Caucasian palette. However, I have learned (I think) recently [1] that the Quchan palette was more varied than I had thought, and [2], there were more venues producing the same Turkoman-esque oversized designs than I had previously understood. I just don't remember where those latter venues were.
