Erif Vintage Turkish Rug

• A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
• A central medallion anchors the motif to a center focal point from which the design blooms out and is balanced by complementary design elements
• Typically associated with the Yoruk nomads of Anatolia, these latch-hook ornaments are believed to protect against sources of danger—including ill will, wild animals, and natural disasters
• A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
• A classic, eight-pointed star stands for balance and harmony
• A concentric floral pattern mimics a lush garden or field of flowers
• A series of geometrically stylized waves represents water—a vital element of life

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.

Wool 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.
