51219 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 01'09 x 03'02. This exquisite hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug showcases a striking open red field that commands attention with its rich and vibrant hue. At the heart of the rug lies an elongated central medallion, delicately outlined with stepped edges that create a sense of movement and depth. This medallion is beautifully anchored by tribal pendants at either end, drawing the eye toward the centerpiece—a blooming lotus surrounded by delicate rosettes on a tan backdrop. This floral motif symbolizes purity and renewal, infusing the rug with an aura of tranquility and elegance.
The black corner spandrels, each featuring a single rosette, provide a striking contrast to the warm red field, creating an esoteric juxtaposition that adds a layer of mystique to the overall design. These dark corners enhance the visual balance of the Turkish rug, while the simplicity of the rosette motifs offers a quiet counterpoint to the more intricate central medallion. This interplay between the light and dark elements reflects the harmonious balance found in nature and traditional Turkish artistry.
Framing the composition, the rug is enclosed by a captivating carnation meander border that weaves its way around the edges, symbolizing love and fascination. This border is further flanked by an inner guard band composed of small geometric shapes, adding an additional layer of intricate detail to the design. Running across the width of both ends are rectangular endcaps filled with repeating frog motifs, which are steeped in symbolism, representing fertility and magical rites. This vintage Turkish Yastik rug is not only a visual delight but also a piece rich in cultural meaning, making it a truly enchanting addition to any space.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, black, ochre, maroon, orange, tan, purple, gray, light green, and wine with other accent colors.
