Curator's Notes
- A central medallion anchors the motif to a center focal point from which the design blooms out and is balanced by complementary design elements
- An absolute classic, diamond-based designs create a beautiful and dynamic field of geometric shapes
- The corners of the rug are heavily ornate
- A larger border is flanked by two smaller borders
- A hexagonal shape (also known as a “lozenge”) represents the female form and fertility
- Just like a modern-day barber's pole, this pattern features alternating slanted stripes
- A crosshatched fade from gentle wear over time produces a soft, distressed look, muting the original color palette

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 incredibly plush—so it’s super comfy to walk and relax on. This wool pile is woven 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.
