This monumental 1970s Konya kilim is a rare and striking example of Central Anatolian weaving, defined by its impressive square-like proportions and vibrant tribal geometry. Hand-woven by Yörük nomads using organic wool, the flatweave construction features a series of concentric diamond medallions that radiate outward, creating a rhythmic visual energy that is both grounding and expansive. The color palette is a harmonious blend of warm terracotta and rust tones, balanced by cool denim blues and soft cream accents, achieved through the use of authentic natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over time.
Ideally suited for a grand living room, spacious dining hall, or an open-concept loft, this oversized rug anchors a room with distinctive character and artisanal warmth. Its geometric precision and earthy hues make it a versatile foundation for interiors ranging from Rustic Farmhouse and Bohemian Chic to sophisticated Organic Modern or Mid-Century aesthetics.

A warm and inviting palette rooted in earthy tones, providing a grounding effect for large spaces.
(Primary colors: Terracotta, Denim Blue, Cream)
• The field is dominated by a rich, warm terracotta and rust orange, creating a cozy atmosphere.
• Intricate geometric details are rendered in contrasting denim blue and slate grey.
• Highlights of cream and ivory add brightness and define the diamond motifs.
• Subtle touches of mustard yellow and sage green appear in the minor borders, adding depth to the composition.
◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The rug features a repetition of bold diamond medallions, a classic motif in Anatolian kilims often symbolizing protection against the evil eye and the preservation of the family unit. The complex, layered geometry reflects the Yörük weaver's connection to the natural world and tribal identity. The borders likely contain stylized "running water" or "ram's horn" symbols, representing fertility, strength, and the continuity of life, woven into a structured yet expressive arrangement.
