1 x 3 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug 51179

51179 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 01'05 x 03'03. 

This captivating hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug embodies a timeless elegance, deeply rooted in nomadic charm and Anatolian cultural symbolism. Running through the heart of the composition is a vibrant red pole medallion, intricately embellished with hooked lozenges that symbolize protection, womanhood, and unity. The bold red color of the medallion stands out against the intimate patina, creating a striking focal point that draws the eye and invites contemplation.

Flanking the serrated rhomboid pole medallion, dual-colored triangles in taupe and khaki converge to form ziggurat motifs that ascend towards the center, adding a dynamic sense of movement and depth to the rug. These motifs, which echo ancient architectural forms, bring a sense of stability and strength to the design. The interplay of these earthy tones with the red highlights creates a harmonious balance that is both pleasing to the eye and rich in meaning.

Enclosing the central geometric design is an inner Greek-T meander guard border, which adds a layer of intricacy and protection. The main border is adorned with repeating eight-point star motifs, a traditional symbol of happiness and joy. These stars, set against a complementary brown background, create a rhythmic pattern that enhances the overall beauty of the rug. This Yastik rug, with its vibrant colors, symbolic motifs, and expert craftsmanship, is a true testament to the enduring artistry of Turkish weavers and brings a touch of cultural heritage into any space.
