This captivating hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug showcases a timeless triple compartmental design, with each panel adorned with a bold and intricate dragon motif. The dragon, revered in Anatolian culture as a powerful guardian of treasures, secrets, and the tree of life, dominates the composition with its commanding presence. The motifs are meticulously woven in warm, rustic earth tones, which imbue the rug with an organic and grounded aesthetic, perfect for those who appreciate the depth of traditional symbolism.

The corners of each compartment are delicately enhanced with triangular amulets, believed to ward off the evil eye and protect against malevolent spirits. These subtle yet powerful symbols create a harmonious balance with the central dragon motifs, further emphasizing the rug's role as both a decorative and protective piece. The juxtaposition of these motifs against the soft, neutral colors of the Turkish rug lends an understated elegance that will complement a variety of interior styles.

The central design is beautifully framed by an inner rectilinear running water border, symbolizing life and purification, flanked by an outer geometric border that adds a striking visual contrast. The thoughtful combination of motifs, symbolism, and color palette makes this vintage Turkish Yastik rug not only a unique piece of art but also a meaningful addition to any space, inviting warmth, protection, and a touch of mystique into your home.
