2 x 2 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug 51829

51829 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 01'08 x 02'05.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug exudes a vibrant and dynamic energy that is characteristic of Anatolian weaving traditions. The rug's design centers around a striking diamond-shaped medallion in the middle of the field, intricately detailed with geometric patterns in shades of golden ochre, rustic orange, and earthy brown. The medallion's sharp angles and lines create a sense of movement, drawing the viewer's eye toward the heart of the rug, where a complex latticework of smaller motifs adds depth and intricacy to the design.

Surrounding the central medallion, the field is a rich, warm red that enhances the rug's overall warmth and invites a sense of coziness into the space. The corners of the field are adorned with hooked protection amulets, each filled with complementary hues of ochre, light gray and burnt orange, which mirror the colors within the medallion. This interplay of shapes and colors gives the rug a harmonious yet lively appearance, perfect for adding a touch of traditional elegance to any room.

The rectilinear meander border of the rug is equally captivating, featuring a series of angular vine patterns in beige and brown, creating an intriguing enclosure to the overall composition. These elements are rendered in a palette of earth tones that balance the rug's vibrant field, creating a cohesive and timeless piece. The careful attention to detail and the skilled craftsmanship evident in this Yastik rug make it not only a beautiful decorative piece but also a cherished heirloom that embodies the rich cultural heritage of Turkish weaving.
