Description from the seller
Anatolian Rugs – like the one in your picture – are a fascinating part of Turkish cultural history and belong to the oldest and most artistic rug traditions in the world.
What is an Anatolian rug?
Anatolia (today central and eastern Anatolia in Turkey) has been a significant center of rug weaving for centuries. Rugs from this region are known for:
• Hand-knotted quality
• Natural materials such as wool, cotton, or sometimes silk
• Plant-dyed wool, which yields rich, lasting colors
• Traditional patterns and symbolism – often with religious, protective, or spiritual meanings
Regional styles within Anatolia:
Hereke: Especially fine, often with silk; originally for the Ottoman court.
Konya: Geometric, clear patterns; strong colors.
Bergama: Rustical style, large geometric shapes.
Yörük (Nomads): Freer, often improvised patterns, vibrant and unique.
Ladik and Milas: Known for their prayer rugs with Mihrab motifs.
Typical motifs and meanings:
Elibelinde (female figure): Symbol of fertility
Koçboynuzu (ram’s horn): Strength, masculinity
Hayat Ağacı (Tree of Life): Connection between Heaven and Earth
Nazarlık (blue eye): Protection against the evil eye
About the rug in your picture:
The rug displays classic features of a Kazak or Karachoph style, which is often associated with the South Caucasus or Northeast Anatolia, but is also woven in Anatolia. The bold, octagonal medallions and the deep red tone are typical. The pattern looks very archaic and powerful – a true piece of folk art.

Production: Hand-knotted
Country of origin: Turkey
Model: Classic
