Curator's Notes
- Lined with a repeating set of four medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- Scalloped edges add a retro and feminine flourish
- 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
Sivas, found in northern Anatolia, is known for kilims that tend to feature rectangular medallions.
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. 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.
