Curator's Notes
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- Deeply meaningful symbols to the women weavers of this culture, these interconnected medallions represent pregnancy and motherhood
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- A hexagonal shape (also known as a “lozenge”) represents the female form and fertility
- The central design is bookended by banner skirt panels
- Abrash adds visual depth and texture in its variation in color and tone
Nigde, a town in central Anatolia, is known for rugs with geometric Anatolian motifs featuring hexagonal medallions and hooked details.
Material DetailsWool 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.
