Handwoven in the Anatolia region of western Turkey in the late 1800s, the rug is rendered in the traditional prayer-format layout, a revered design associated with protection, devotion, and balance.

The composition is anchored by a glowing madder-red field and border, a hallmark of authentic Bergama weavings. While at first glance the palette appears monochromatic, a closer look reveals a sophisticated range of red tonalities—deep crimson, warm brick, and soft rose—beautifully enhanced by subtle accents of cream and rich brown. Woven using natural vegetable dyes and hand-spun wool, this rug displays the bold drawing and tactile character that have made Bergama carpets highly sought after by collectors and designers alike.

Adding to its distinction, this Bergama rug originates from the private collection of a renowned San Francisco vintage rug connoisseur, underscoring its authenticity, quality, and collectability.
