51461 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 02'03 x 02'06.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug is a vibrant expression of Anatolian artistry, rich in symbolism and tradition. The rug's striking red field immediately draws the eye, providing a dramatic backdrop for a central medallion that is a masterpiece of intricate design. The medallion features a combination of stylized floral and geometric motifs, with delicate vines, blossoms, and curvilinear forms surrounding a serrated diamond shape at its heart. This captivating interplay of shapes and colors creates a dynamic sense of movement and balance, inviting the viewer to explore its many layers of meaning.

Encircling the central motif, four stylized wreath-like medallions in soft tones of pink and spring green are placed in each corner, symbolizing life, growth, and renewal. These floral accents offer a gentle contrast to the deeper red and earthy hues, lending a sense of harmony and serenity to the overall design. 

Framing the composition, the rug is enclosed with a continuous meander border of floral motifs and vines in a palette of warm, earthy tones. This border acts as a unifying element, drawing together the rug's many components into a cohesive and balanced whole. The edges are accentuated with sawtooth guard bands, lending an added touch of refinement. As a cherished example of Turkish weaving, this Yastik rug brings a touch of timeless elegance and cultural heritage into any space, making it not only a beautiful addition but also a conversation piece rich in history and meaning.
