4'4 x 8' Hand-Knotted Turkish Bergama Area Rug

Item Details

This mid-20th century Turkish Anatolian rug features a striking coral-red field anchored by a large, stepped geometric medallion in cream and muted gold. The medallion is detailed with stylized floral elements and unique keyhole terminals, a classic motif of the Bergama weaving tradition. Contrasting cream spandrels at the corners are decorated with geometric blossoms, while a multi-layered border of repeating rosettes frames the central composition. The wool-on-wool construction and visible color striations, or abrash, emphasize the rug’s authentic village origin. This piece is a quintessential example of Turkish tribal art, offering a bold palette and historic geometric structure.
