2 x 4 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug 51187

51187 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 01'06 x 03'07.

This enchanting hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug captures the essence of romantic Rococo with a distinctly feminine sensibility. The open red field serves as a rich and passionate backdrop for the intricate details that define the piece. At the heart of the composition, a round blooming rose medallion exudes elegance, flanked on either side by undulating acanthus leaves and opulent frondescence, creating a sense of movement and lushness that draws the eye into the center of the rug.

The stepped gray corner spandrels, adorned with delicate botanical elements, add a soft contrast to the vivid red field, enhancing the overall harmony of the design. These corners balance the composition, creating a refined aesthetic that is both timeless and elegant. The organic floral border that frames the rug further enhances its Rococo charm, with its flowing lines and natural motifs that echo the central design, tying the whole piece together with a sense of unity and grace.

Adding to the rug's symbolic depth, the endcaps running along the width highlight repeating Ram's Horn motifs. These symbols, representing fertility, heroism, power, and masculinity, provide a protective element to the rug's narrative, reinforcing its role as a piece of cultural heritage. This Yastik rug is not just a decorative item but a work of art that brings together the romance of Rococo design and the rich symbolism of Turkish craftsmanship, making it a truly captivating addition to any space.
