Curator's Notes
Motifs
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
Directional design or color gradients with purposeful asymmetry and movement
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
Triangular amulet design—believed to protect against evil spirits and bad luck
Rectangular shapes mimic castle battlements—symbolizing protection and security
Abrash adds visual depth and texture in its variation in color and tone
Region of Origin
Malatya, found in central Anatolia, is known for its coarsely knotted rugs and geometric designs woven by Kurdish tribes.
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.
