Curator's Notes
- Diagonal lines weave and intersect, forming a grid-like pattern
- Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and simple shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- Crosses are a fundamental element of rug design (occasionally alluding to faith)
- Triangular amulet design—believed to protect against evil spirits and bad luck
- A symmetrical overhead view of a floral rosette
- A larger border is flanked by two smaller borders
Kayseri, a key rug production center in central Anatolia, is known for rugs featuring finely knotted Persian or geometric motifs.
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 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.
