This is an Extra Large Oriental Style Living Room Sized Rug in Beige and Brown measuring 12 ft 10 inch x 8 ft 6 inch (393 cm x 259 cm) This is a magnificent example of the finest Oriental-influenced Oriental Carpets woven by Nomadic and Tribal Village Weavers in Far South Eastern Anatolia, Turkey in the mid 20th Century. The intricate, floral and arabesque design motifs woven onto a single color base and which are complimented by equally delicate, but more geometric, border strips and corner quarter patterns are characteristic of the cultural influences which passed across borders and cultures during this time and explain why these rugs are more reminiscent of Oriental productions than Traditional Turkish ones.
This rug has been naturally sun faded and the pile reduced to facilitate ease of placement under furniture and cleaning. This rug is, however, still very substantial, weighing over 26 kgs. It would be most suitable for use under a Dining Table or in a large Lounge or Bedroom.
These intricately patterned, top quality Oriental Rugs are quite unique and distinctive, representing one of the few styles of Oriental-influenced Oriental Carpets that merge both rural Village and township Workshop traditions and techniques. Rug Weaving has always been a major part of the artistic creativity of the tribal and nomadic people of this area, and the intricate patterns and unique weaving/ knotting techniques have been traditionally proudly passed from one generation to the next, maintaining the heritage and history of the designs and techniques developed many Centuries ago.
Hand-Knotted in Turkey
Every rug is hand-knotted by master weavers in the villages of Central and Eastern Anatolia, carrying centuries of tradition. Each piece is made by hand with natural fibers and organic vegetable dyes — no two rugs are alike.
