About Dosemealtı Rugs
Dosemealtı (Döşemealtı) rugs are celebrated for their strong, geometric designs and rich colors. Originating from the Dosemealtı region of Antalya, Turkey, they are known for their high-quality craftsmanship and durability. These rugs hold a Geographical Indication certificate, which protects their name and verifies their authentic origin. They are traditionally woven by nomadic Yoruk people, and each pattern and motif often tells a story or symbolizes a part of their cultural heritage.

Yellow: A warm, earthy yellow-ochre that provides a striking contrast and frames the central design.
