Measurements: 132x116.5 cm. The rug has even wear and medium pile, good condition.
A very rustic West Anatolian rug with a traditional design that is also found in earlier rugs. . This carpet features an amazing array of geometric and symbolic patterned decorations that have universal significance and transcend national borders. The rug has a coarse weave and very earthy colour tones. as can be seen the lower end is quite uneven in shape adding to the rustic charm. The dominant colors are red and white, but dark blue, green and yellow also appear, used in the oldest carpets.
The carpet is highly decorative, and is composed with geometric ornaments typical of tribal rugs and particularly of the nomadic populations of Turkish ethnicity. The decorative motifs are varied. The eight octagonal medallions stand out, with the typical broad zig-zag borders with latch hooks. This model is associated with the Yoruk tribe, nomads from Anatolia.
