Curator's Notes
- A prominent, oversized medallion anchors the motif to a center focal point from which the design blooms out and is balanced by complementary design elements
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- A tree of life (a symbol found in several religions around the world) alludes to the Garden of Eden
- Triangular amulet design—believed to protect against evil spirits and bad luck
- Features a one-of-kind and subtly distressed look from gentle wear over time
Avanos, found in central Anatolia, is famous for its handcrafted goods, including rugs and pottery. Rugs from this area tend to feature geometric floral motifs and scalloped-edge fields.
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.
