Curator's Notes
- Originally designed for French nobility, these floral motifs hail from the town of Aubusson in central France
- Floral motifs are a staple in rug design—showing up in a variety of styles including natural, abstract, and geometric
- A central medallion anchors the motif to a center focal point from which the design blooms out and is balanced by complementary design elements
- The corners of the rug are heavily ornate
- The central design is bookended by banner skirt panels
Taspinar, in south central Anatolia, is known for high-quality wool rugs with Anatolian motifs that feature elongated hexagonal medallions with stepped edges and geometric floral details.
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 soft—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on.
