This listing is for a matching set of two (2) rare vintage cushion covers, crafted from authentic early 20th century Turkish village rugs handwoven in the Harput (Elazığ) region of Eastern Anatolia, dating to circa 1930–1940.
Harput rugs are celebrated for their bold tribal medallions, symbolic geometric layouts, and rich natural color palettes. These two cushions share the same regional weaving language, featuring strong central motifs, stepped forms, and protective symbols traditionally associated with strength, continuity, and prosperity.
Both pieces were woven using hand-spun wool and dyed with natural root dyes, resulting in deep, earthy reds, blacks, browns, and subtle green tones that have developed a beautiful patina over time. The wool remains dense and tactile, preserving the integrity of the original textiles.
The cushions are offered as covers only (no inserts included), allowing flexibility in styling. Their substantial size makes them ideal not only as sofa cushions, but also as floor cushions, backrest pillows, or statement pieces in living rooms, libraries, or curated interiors.
