This large, hand-knotted wool rug from the 1960s, crafted in Turkey, features a classical Oriental design inspired by traditional Persian motifs. The composition centers around a medallion with symmetrical floral and arabesque patterns radiating outward, framed by a richly decorated border of repeating botanical and geometric elements. The dominant background is a warm, muted beige, contrasted by cool blue hues – ranging from subdued turquoise to deep navy – and off-white accents. Subtle tonal variations, resulting from hand-dyeing and natural aging, lend the surface a matte depth characteristic of high-quality wool. The rug measures 285 by 393 cm, with a low pile height of approximately 1 cm, and its edges and corners remain intact, free from fraying or separation. Preserved in excellent condition, it displays only minimal, evenly distributed signs of use consistent with its age.
This rug embodies the narrative of mid-20th-century Turkish craftsmanship, when classical Persian patterns found new life in Anatolian homes and ateliers. Each detail – from the softened blues to the gently coarse wool texture – evokes the patient rhythm of hand-weaving, where time and skill intertwine into a subtle patina. The pattern, while intricate, remains balanced; it is a quiet voice from a bygone era when harmony and restraint shaped everyday aesthetics.
The rug may be paired with simple, modernist wooden or leather furniture to highlight the interplay between tradition and contemporary style. It would work well as a focal point in a spacious living room or in eclectic, collector’s interiors, where it could be combined with light walls and neutral textiles.
