Description
A genuine relic of 19th-century Anatolian weaving, this hand-woven wool rug fragment showcases the artistry of village women whose craft shaped the heritage of Turkish tribal design. The faded tones of madder red, indigo blue, and soft gold form graceful vine and lattice motifs typical of Central Anatolia’s nomadic weaving traditions.
Due to its great age and delicate condition, the fragment has been professionally hand-sewn onto a cotton textile backing to ensure long-term preservation and ease of display. The combination of original wool and new cotton support highlights both its fragility and its timeless beauty. A rare and soulful collector’s piece with historical depth and authentic texture.
