Curator's Notes
- Directional design or color gradients with purposeful asymmetry and movement
- Crosses are a fundamental element of rug design (occasionally alluding to faith)
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- Triangular amulet design—believed to protect against evil spirits and bad luck
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
Gaziantep is a major rug collection center located in southeastern Turkey. In particular, the area is known for hand-embroidered, flatweave cicims (a specific type of kilim).
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 woven onto a foundation built from the hardy hair fibers of mountain-dwelling goats—a strong material that's sole purpose is to hold up through years of rugged wear.
