Curator's Notes
Motifs
A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
Lined with a repeating set of three medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
Crosses are a fundamental element of rug design (occasionally alluding to faith)
A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
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.
