Curator's Notes
Motifs
A series of repeating medallions fill out the field in balanced, ornamental details
Floral motifs are a staple in rug design—showing up in a variety of styles including natural, abstract, and geometric
A crosshatched fade from gentle wear over time produces a soft, distressed look, muting the original color palette
A larger border is flanked by two smaller borders
This repeating octagonal pattern comes from Bokhara (modern-day Uzbekistan), a historic stop along the Silk Road trade route
Region of Origin
Demirci is one of the most established handmade carpet production centers in all of Turkey. Rugs from this area can be distinguished by their coarse knots woven onto a cotton foundation, usually depicting a simple Persian motif.
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 soft—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.
