Antique Yuruk Small Scatter Size Wool Rug, Country of Origin: Turkey, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece is a testament to the powerful, archaic weaving traditions of the nomadic tribes of Eastern Anatolia. The robust construction and deeply saturated natural dyes are hallmarks of authentic Turkish rugs from this period. The intimate proportions categorize this textile as a small scatter size, ideal for adding a concentrated burst of color and history to an entryway, hearth, or study. Its thick, hand-spun wool pile speaks to its durability, ensuring that the rug retains the tactile quality prized by collectors of very early tribal pieces. The field is dominated by a rich red hue, serving as a dramatic backdrop for highly stylized geometric motifs rendered in indigo, olive green, and cream.
