2 x 3 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug 51473

51473 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 01'08 x 03'04.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug captures the essence of Anatolian craftsmanship with its striking design and rich palette. The rug’s deep red field sets a dramatic stage for the central medallion, a harmonious fusion of intricate floral and geometric patterns. At its heart, the medallion is a symphony of navy blue, forest green, and beige tones, with each shade complementing the other to create a sense of depth and movement. The interplay of colors and shapes draws the eye to the rug's center, providing a focal point that radiates charm and sophistication.

Each corner spandrel of the rug is adorned with floral motifs nestled within angular frames, their shapes softened by the rug's subtle abrash—a natural variation in the dye that adds texture and authenticity. These corner elements enhance the overall balance of the design, echoing the medallion's colors and motifs and creating a dynamic interplay between the rug's central and peripheral elements. The tulip motifs symbolize prosperity, while the foliage elements reflect growth and renewal, imbuing the rug with both aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.

Framing this elegant composition is a border of repeating geometric patterns that introduces a rhythmic cadence to the piece. The border, rendered in shades of dark brown and beige, provides a striking contrast to the vibrant red field, anchoring the design and giving it a finished look. This vintage Yastik rug, with its harmonious blend of colors, patterns, and cultural symbolism, makes a timeless addition to any space, infusing it with a sense of history, warmth, and artisanal beauty.
