Curator's Notes
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- A series of repeating medallions create a beautifully complex field or pattern
- A classic, eight-pointed star stands for balance and harmony
- 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
- The central design is bookended by banner skirt panels
- A handsome, hand-braided fringe woven from threads of the loom
Yagcibedir rugs are crafted from pure wool and produced in the mountain villages of northwestern Turkey. These carpets are known for their extremely high quality, geometric motifs, and distinct red and dark blue color palettes.
