Yellow Ground Rug

This is a popular design employed by the Turks, a 17th-century rug from Turkey, Central Anatolia area. Stylized pomegranate trees with flowers and fruits, many diverse colored floral figures on a yellow ground with both ends prayer arch (mihrab) design whose inner fields are covered with flowering plants. 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 of time. The design of this rug is interpreted and most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.
