Description from the seller
Set of two Melas Turkish rugs, Bed runners – 1950–1960
We present an original set of two Melas Turkish rugs, authentic traditional pieces from Anatolia, handwoven in the mid-20th century, approximately 1950–1960.
These rugs belong to the classic Melas model, recognizable by its balanced geometric composition, a well-defined central field, and the harmony of soft, warm colors characteristic of this region in southwestern Turkey.
Both pieces have been completely handwoven, using 100% natural wool in both warp and weft, which gives them durability, a pleasant texture, and excellent preservation over time.
• Origin: Melas, Turkey
• Period: 1950–1960
• Technique: Handmade
• Material: 100% natural wool
• Measurements (each): approx. 140 × 82 cm
• Condition: Very good overall condition, with minimal wear in line with their age. Original fringes present. Colors well preserved.
Ideal as bed runners, to place in pairs on either side of a bed, in a narrow hallway, or as decorative pieces with vintage and authentic character.
A set that is difficult to find in a pair and in such good condition, perfect for collectors or lovers of traditional oriental rugs.
