Antique Konya Small Scatter Size Wool Purple Rug, Circa Date: 1860s. This exceptional piece hails from the Konya region of central Anatolia, known for its powerful, graphic weaving tradition. The diminutive scale classifies it as a small scatter size rug, perfect for adding a concentrated burst of historical color to a hallway or intimate space. Size ?? Format: rectangular. The palette is a striking study in contrast, utilizing rich vegetable dyes that have mellowed beautifully over time. Deep aubergine and crimson squares alternate with blocks of vibrant mustard yellow, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. The central use of this saturated, earthy purple color is characteristic of fine 19th-century Anatolian production, where natural dyes achieved remarkable depth. Structurally, the rug employs a bold, compartmentalized design, where the field is divided into a strict grid of squares.
