Antique Bergama Turkish Medallion Square Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional West Anatolian weaving exemplifies the robust, tribal aesthetic characteristic of the Bergama region. Its Square composition features a highly stylized central medallion, framed by a lively field densely populated with bold geometric and stylized floral motifs, typical of oriental rugs from this period. The palette is rich and saturated, utilizing natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over time. Deep cochineal reds and striking indigo accents contrast sharply against the ivory ground. The overall effect is one of warmth and antiquity, subtly enhanced by the aged, earthy tones that lean toward green color rugs in certain light, reflecting the rug's significant age and provenance.
