Measuring 3'1" x 5'5", the carpet carries the hallmarks of Konya craftsmanship—geometric motifs, bold tribal expression, and deeply symbolic use of color.

The palette is striking yet harmonious: red, green, and blue dominate the field, accented by subtle contrasts that highlight the tribal design. The semi-thick wool pile is soft yet durable, resting on a sturdy foundation of wool and cotton, ensuring both longevity and tactile richness. Its compact size makes it versatile—ideal as a collector’s piece, an accent rug in a study or entryway, or even displayed as a wall hanging.

Konya rugs are among the most celebrated of Anatolia, often reflecting centuries of nomadic traditions, spiritual symbolism, and the practical artistry of Turkish village weavers. This piece, preserved in very good condition, is not only a decorative treasure but also a cultural artifact—an heirloom-quality rug that connects today’s home with the artistry of Anatolia’s past.
