Antique Konya Turkish Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1800. This exceptional example of Anatolian weaving tradition showcases the robust, tribal aesthetic characteristic of the region. Woven during the 19th century, this piece is a testament to the enduring quality and historical depth found within the finest collections of antique rugs. The design centers on two large, stepped hexagonal medallions rendered in brilliant cobalt blue, providing a striking contrast against the saturated madder-red ground. The field surrounding these central motifs is densely populated with stylized geometric and floral elements, creating a dynamic, repeating composition that borders on the complexity often seen in allover rugs. The palette is rich and earthy, utilizing natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over two centuries.
