A striking village weave from western Anatolia, this beautiful mid-19th century Kula rug showcases a bold, geometric octagonal medallion floating on a saturated rust ground, framed by sky-blue/teal corner spandrels and multiple botanical guard borders. Angular vine scrolls and stylized rosettes give it that classic geometric/tribal character while retaining Kula’s elegant Ottoman floral spirit. The palette—brick red, terracotta, chocolate, teal, and soft celadon—shows pleasing abrash (natural dye variation) and a time-earned patina that only true age can produce.

Hand-knotted in wool on a traditional foundation, this piece has the supple handle and nuanced abrash associated with 19th-century village work. Visually powerful yet refined, it’s an heirloom accent for living rooms, libraries, and entry halls—equally at home with classic, bohemian, or modern interiors as a statement artwork on the floor or wall.
