Curator's Notes
- Crosses are a fundamental element of rug design (occasionally alluding to faith)
- A larger border is flanked by two smaller borders
- Lined with three geometrically stylized Anatolian medallions
- A pattern of repeating hooks mirrors a set of breaking waves
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- A classic, eight-pointed star stands for balance and harmony
Dosemealti, located in southwestern Anatolia (just north of Antalya’s seaside location), is well known for rugs that depict Anatolian-style motifs, all centered around a stylized cross.
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.
