Motifs & Symbolism:
The rug showcases three large diamond-shaped medallions framed by stylized koçboynuzu (ram’s horn) patterns, symbolizing strength and fertility. The outer border alternates geometric “elibelinde” motifs — a traditional symbol of motherhood and abundance. This rhythmic layout brings visual balance and a lively folk-art feel.

Color Palette & Design Insight:
Dominated by dusty aqua blue in the field and bordered by beige sand and deep navy blue tones, the rug’s pattern is accented with touches of terracotta red. The result is a cheerful yet composed palette that harmonizes easily with both natural wood and modern neutral interiors — ideal for brightening rustic, boho, or Scandinavian-style spaces.

What Is a Turkish Kilim?:
Turkish kilims are flat-woven textiles traditionally crafted by hand on wooden looms using interlocking wool wefts and warps. Each region of Turkey developed its own distinctive patterns and symbolic language over centuries — from Oushak’s large medallions to the fine tribal motifs of Kars or Balıkesir. Beyond their practical use, kilims served as a medium of cultural storytelling, where each symbol represented protection, love, or prosperity. Modern collectors value these pieces not only for their visual beauty but also for their authenticity, durability, and deep cultural roots connecting craft to heritage.
