Description
Fabulous traditional handwoven geometric village carpet from Anatolia – Turkey.
Strikingly bold Anatolian village rug from the Taspinar Konya region of central Turkey.
Rich saturated colors including red, blue, tan, olive green, gold, and white.
These bold geometric rugs are traditionally woven as wedding dowries and family centerpieces.
Wonderful motif with large central medallion, combs and tree of life icons.
Overall condition is excellent! Almost no signs of any wear!
Soft and supple 100% natural wool pile. Out of my personal collection of antique and vintage carpets.
100% natural wool. Warp and weft is also wool. Konya – Taspinar tribal rug.
Taspinar is located in central Turkey just south of the world famous region of Cappadocia– one of Turkey’s most touted tourist destinations. It is also located fairly close to Konya, which has been a source of illustrious Turkish carpets for several centuries.
This area in Anatolia produces a high quality wool with a silky feel. The rich lanolin in the wool is what makes the rug feel as if it was woven from silk.
The design combines bold geometric elements with displays of plants and foliage.
Shipping is $55 within the continental U.S.
Exact size is 9 ft. 6 in. by 5 ft. 8 in.
Last photo with Morgan silver dollar shows the backside of the carpet.
