Curator's Notes
Motifs
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
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 series of geometrically stylized waves represents water—a vital element of life
A symmetrical overhead view of a floral rosette
Region of Origin
Ortakoy, found in central Anatolia, is known for geometric Anatolian motifs with hexagonal medallions and stepped details.
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.
