Authentic 1960s Hand-Woven Central Anatolian Rug - Unique Lion Motif
This is a rare and beautifully preserved vintage Turkish rug, hand-woven in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey around the 1960s. This piece is not a modern reproduction but a genuine work of village folk art, crafted by a local weaver for their own personal use. This gives the rug an incredible sense of history and unique character.
The rug features a striking lion motif at its center, a powerful and symbolic image representing strength, courage, and protection in Anatolian culture. The whimsical, stylized nature of the lions and the surrounding geometric and floral patterns in the rich, red border are a testament to its authentic tribal origin.
Woven from high-quality wool on a durable cotton foundation, this rug has a naturally low pile that has been lovingly shorn, creating a soft, textural feel underfoot. It is a one-of-a-kind piece that would make a magnificent focal point in any room.

Color Summary
The rug's color palette is composed of natural, earthy tones. The main field is a light, muted beige, providing a calm and neutral base. The striking border and central motifs feature rich deep reds, warm yellows, burnt oranges, and hints of subtle gray-blue and pale purple, all of which appear to be from traditional vegetable dyes.
