Turkish Village Rug 1595

This exceptional 19th Century Anatolian village rug is a striking example of traditional Turkish weaving, showcasing the bold geometry, symbolic design, and luminous natural dyes that define the finest rural Anatolian carpets. Woven in the Anatolia region of Turkey in the late 1800s, this rug features a classic prayer-format composition, a form traditionally used to signify protection, spirituality, and refinement.

At the heart of the design is a powerful deep blue central medallion, floating gracefully within a richly saturated brick-red field. The crisp geometric patterning is beautifully balanced, creating both visual rhythm and architectural presence—making this rug an ideal statement piece for curated interiors.

Framing the composition is a soft yellow border adorned with stylized leaf and vine motifs, symbolizing growth and renewal. The palette—created entirely with natural vegetable dyes—has matured gracefully over time, producing a warm, harmonious glow that only genuine 19th-century textiles can achieve.

Adding to its provenance and desirability, this Anatolian village rug comes from the private collection of a renowned San Francisco vintage rug connoisseur, underscoring its quality, authenticity, and collectability.
