This low-pile carpet features classic nomadic patterns that tell a story of traditional craftsmanship and rich cultural heritage.

Meticulously produced by skilled artisans, this rug underwent a unique process to enhance its durability and character. The pile was expertly shaved, a traditional method that prevents shedding and significantly increases the rug's longevity. Following this, it was left in sun fields for three months, allowing the colors to naturally fade to a beautifully soft and muted palette, imbuing it with an authentic, aged patina highly sought after by collectors and interior designers.

Measuring a generous 69 x 111 inches, this versatile piece is perfect for adding warmth, texture, and a touch of global elegance to any living room, dining area, or bedroom. Its low pile makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and allows for easy placement of furniture.

This one-of-a-kind Turkish carpet is not just a floor covering; it's a piece of history, ready to bring warmth and authentic style to your home.

About Colors

Dominant Base Colors:
Muted Terracotta/Faded Red-Orange: This seems to be a prominent background or primary pattern color, softened by the sun-fading process.

Soft Blues/Teals: Various shades of blue, ranging from a muted denim-like blue to a slightly greenish teal, are visible in the patterns.

Accent Colors:
Cream/Ivory/Light Beige: Used for outlining patterns and as a lighter contrast color.

Earthy Browns/Greys: Subtle tones that provide depth and definition within some of the nomadic motifs.

Dull Yellow/Gold: Hints of a faded, soft yellow or golden hue might be present in some smaller details.

Overall, the colors have a muted, sun-faded, and earthy palette, characteristic of vintage Turkish rugs that have undergone natural aging and the described sun-fading process. The "low-pile" and "shaved" aspect would also contribute to the less vibrant, more subdued appearance of the colors compared to a rug with a higher, plush pile. See less
