What Is a Turkish Rug?
Origins — Turkish rugs trace their roots to nomadic tribes who wove functional yet artistic textiles for tents and homes. Over centuries, this craft evolved into a cornerstone of Anatolian cultural identity, blending practical warmth with visual storytelling.
Symbolism — Common motifs like the Elibelinde (fertility), Ram’s Horn (strength), and Tree of Life (eternity) are visual prayers expressed in thread, preserving the spiritual codes of everyday life.
Weaving Technique — Turkish artisans employ either flat-weave looms for kilims or knotted pile looms for halı rugs, both relying on high-tension hand-woven wool. This piece, being a kilim, displays crisp geometry and a reversible surface ideal for layering or wall display.
Modern Relevance — Today, designers prize Turkish rugs for their authenticity and timeless materiality. They bring warmth beneath a dining table, define open-plan living areas, or serve as wall art in curated lofts—embodying both design history and emotional depth.
