Vintage Konya Cihanbeyli Kurdish Rug, 135 × 230 cm / 4.4 x 7.5 ft Handmade Wool Rug

A rare and highly expressive vintage Kurdish rug from Cihanbeyli, Konya, handmade from wool and distinguished by its bold tribal composition, vibrant colors, and richly detailed geometric motifs.

The central field is arranged around four large octagonal medallions, each containing intricate geometric symbols and stylized tribal elements. Smaller motifs fill the surrounding areas, creating a dense and visually dynamic composition. The wide outer borders are decorated with repeating angular and hooked forms that reinforce the rug’s strong nomadic character.

The palette combines deep red, burnt orange, ochre, mustard yellow, burgundy, muted purple, brown, ivory, and charcoal tones. Decades of natural aging have softened and blended these colors beautifully, giving the rug a distinctive patina and remarkable depth.

Approximately 120 years old, this piece reflects the traditional Kurdish weaving culture of the Cihanbeyli area in Central Anatolia. Its handmade irregularities, naturally aged wool surface, tonal shifts, and time-worn character are integral parts of its authenticity.

With its 135 × 230 cm proportions, this rug works beautifully in a living room, bedroom, study, entry area, reading corner, or as a statement textile in a collected interior. Its powerful tribal aesthetic is especially suitable for bohemian, eclectic, rustic, maximalist, and traditional spaces.
