Curator's Notes
Motifs
Five hexagonal shapes (also known as “lozenges”) represent the female form and fertility
Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
Floral motifs are a staple in rug design—showing up in a variety of styles including natural, abstract, and geometric
A simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in life
A series of geometrically stylized waves represents water—a vital element of life
Abrash adds visual depth and texture in its variation in color and tone
A larger border is flanked by two smaller borders
Region of Origin
Sille, a village in central Turkey near Konya, is known for its wide runners that feature Anatolian patterns with repeating geometric medallions—commonly woven with distinctive red or coral warps and wefts.
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.
