AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of two Melas Turkish carpets, Bed runners – 1950–1960
We present an original set of two Melas Turkish carpets, authentic traditional pieces from Anatolia, handwoven in the mid-20th century, around 1950–1960.
These carpets belong to the classical Melas pattern, recognizable by its balanced geometric composition, its well-defined central field, and the harmony of soft, warm colors characteristic of this region in southwestern Turkey.
Both pieces have been completely handmade, 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: Handwoven
• Material: 100% natural wool
• Dimensions (each): approx. 140 × 82 cm
• Condition: Very good overall condition, with minimal wear for its age. Original fringes present. Colors well preserved.
Ideal as bed runners, to place in pairs on both sides of a bed, in a narrow hallway, or as decorative pieces with vintage and authentic character.
A set that is hard to find as a pair and in such good condition, perfect for collectors or lovers of traditional Oriental rugs.
