Curator's Notes
Motifs
A series of repeating medallions create a beautifully complex field or pattern
A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
A hexagonal shape (also known as a “lozenge”) represents the female form and fertility
A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
Typically associated with the Yoruk nomads of Anatolia, these latch-hook ornaments are believed to protect against sources of danger—including ill will, wild animals, and natural disasters
A simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in life
Features a one-of-kind and subtly distressed look from gentle wear over time
Region of Origin
Malatya, found in central Anatolia, is known for its coarsely knotted rugs and geometric designs woven by Kurdish tribes.
Material Details
Wool is the most widely used fiber in Turkish rug design. Not only is it plentiful in supply, it’s durable, long-lasting, and incredibly plush—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. This wool pile is knotted onto a cotton foundation, another popular choice in rug design. The cotton used is rigid, strong, and provides a sturdy foundation that’s designed to last a lifetime—or ten.
