Carpet - 250 cm - 112 cm

This authentic Turkish village rug is an impressive hand-knotted piece from Central Anatolia, dating from around 1880. With its generous dimensions of 250 × 112 cm, it has the look and presence of a true 19th-century utilitarian rug, made for daily life and not for the market.

The rug is characterized by a powerful geometric field with diagonal bands and stylized motifs, clearly influenced by Caucasian design language. The warm colors—deep red, old blue, ochre, and earth tones—have aged naturally and display a beautiful abrash, which adds depth and liveliness.

Knotted in wool on wool, the rug has a supple, authentic texture. The sides have, in the past, been expertly repaired, which is typical for carpets of this age and attests to long use and appreciation. The present wear and patina contribute to its character and historic appearance.

A distinctive and authentic rug with soul, history, and presence, perfect as a statement piece in an interior or as a valuable addition for the enthusiast of old Turkish and nomadic carpets from the late 19th century.
