Antique Yastik Turkish Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of tribal small size antique Turkish Yastik rugs originates from the late Ottoman era, representing the finest traditions of Anatolian village weaving. These small, highly collectible textiles were originally designed as cushion covers or small scatter rugs, prized for their dense, luxurious pile and saturated, natural dyes.

The composition features a strong central stepped medallion set against a field of rich terracotta and rust tones, framed by bold, repeating border elements. The design is characterized by highly stylized, geometric rug motifs, typical of nomadic and village production, emphasizing powerful symmetry and abstract iconography rather than delicate, curvilinear forms.

The palette is a masterclass in natural dyeing, featuring deep indigo blues, mossy greens, and vibrant ochres, creating a stunning collection of multicolor jewel tone rugs. The age and provenance of this piece place it firmly among the most desirable antique rugs available today, showcasing the enduring beauty and rugged craftsmanship of late 19th-century Turkish textiles.

Due to its specialized origin and dimensions, this textile falls into the category of small scatter size rugs, making it perfectly suited for display as a wall hanging, an accent piece, or layered within a sophisticated interior design scheme. Its primitive charm and remarkable state of preservation ensure its status as a unique cultural artifact. See less
