Anatolian Medallion Rug

The source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star - A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.166. This is similar to Transylvanian carpets designed by an 18th-century rug from West Turkey. This rug has blue corner spandrels with two strongly serrated leaves and a half-opened blossom in the center. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets and kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas. This tradition dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
