Vintage Area Rug, 145 x 290 cm / 4.8 x 9.5 feet

Twin Medallions of Sille – Vintage Turkish Rug

An extraordinary 80-year-old vintage Turkish rug from Sille, a historic settlement in Konya, Central Anatolia, known for its rich cultural heritage and centuries of coexistence between Turkish and Greek communities.

According to its provenance, this beautiful wool carpet was woven by Greek artisans associated with the historic Sille weaving tradition. It represents a distinctive chapter of Anatolian textile history, combining traditional carpet-making craftsmanship with the multicultural artistic heritage of the region.

The rug features two magnificent floral medallions arranged across a warm terracotta-red field. One medallion displays delicate ivory, peach, and muted olive tones, while the other features a dramatic dark charcoal background with golden yellow, cream, and soft pink floral details.

The contrast between these two large medallions creates a captivating composition, enhanced by intricate floral corner decorations and beautifully detailed ornamental borders.

A richly decorated charcoal-black main border surrounds the central field, featuring repeating floral rosettes, stylized botanical motifs, and elegant scrolling patterns in golden yellow, burnt orange, ivory, dusty pink, and muted green.

The sophisticated floral design, harmonious color palette, and gently aged appearance give this vintage carpet an elegant and timeless character.

Approximately 80 years old, this exceptional Sille rug beautifully combines traditional Anatolian weaving techniques with a distinctive decorative aesthetic.

Its generous dimensions make it ideal for living rooms, dining areas, bedrooms, and elegant interior spaces. The rich terracotta background and contrasting floral medallions complement eclectic, traditional, bohemian, maximalist, and contemporary interiors.
