Turkish Village Rug 1591

This exquisite late 19th-century Turkish Anatolian village rug is a refined expression of traditional rural weaving, prized for its bold geometry, luminous natural dyes, and beautifully aged character. Handwoven in western Anatolia during the late 1800s, the rug features a striking navy-blue medallion motif resting within a warm brick-red ground, all set against a softly glowing tan field that gives the composition remarkable depth and balance.

The village weaver used hand-spun, high-grade wool dyed exclusively with natural vegetable pigments, resulting in gentle abrash and subtle tonal variation that has mellowed gracefully over time. This organic color movement gives the rug a living, painterly quality that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.

Framing the design is a beautifully articulated primary border in abrash dark blue, filled with bold geometric motifs that echo the strength of the central medallion while providing a sophisticated architectural frame.

Adding to its distinction, this Anatolian rug comes from the private collection of a renowned San Francisco vintage rug connoisseur, reinforcing its authenticity, quality, and collector-grade provenance.
