A late 19th-century Turkish Anatolian Yuruk carpet from the 1880s, measuring approximately 122.0 × 152.6 cm (about 4’0″ × 5’0″). The composition pairs a red-rust field with a salmon-toned border in a geometric tribal vocabulary characteristic of Yuruk village weaving.
The Yuruk are semi-nomadic tribes of central and eastern Anatolia (Turkey), historically associated with hand-knotted wool village carpets in scatter sizes with bold, abstract geometric vocabularies and saturated natural-dye palettes.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique tribal carpet.
