Vintage Konya Rug, 100 × 172 cm / 3.3 x 5.6 ft Handmade Wool Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade wool rug from Konya, Central Anatolia, featuring three large geometric medallions, a warm red field, and softly aged traditional colors.

The central composition is built around three large octagonal medallions arranged horizontally across the field. Each medallion contains a smaller stepped geometric form and a star-like central motif. The repeating layout gives the rug a strong sense of symmetry and rhythm while preserving the individual irregularities of handmade village weaving.

The surrounding border is decorated with repeating floral rosettes, angular botanical forms, geometric symbols, and stylized leaves in ivory, brown, muted yellow, gray, burgundy, and soft earthy tones. The warm red central field contrasts beautifully with the paler medallions and decorative border.

Approximately 60 years old, the rug has developed natural fading, tonal variation, and a soft vintage patina that enhance its authentic character.

About Konya Rugs

Konya is one of the most historically important rug-weaving regions of Central Anatolia, Turkey. Rugs have been woven throughout Konya and its surrounding villages for generations, often for household use, dowries, prayer, and decoration.

Traditional Konya rugs are known for a broad range of designs, including:

• Large geometric medallions
• Stepped and angular forms
• Stars, diamonds, hooks, and symbolic motifs
• Stylized flowers and botanical elements
• Multiple structured borders
• Rich red, ivory, blue, green, yellow, brown, and earthy palettes
• Natural asymmetry created by individual village weavers

Many Konya rugs were produced in home or village environments rather than standardized workshops. For this reason, small changes in motif size, symmetry, pile, and coloration are part of their authentic handmade character.

This piece is particularly attractive for its triple-medallion composition, softly faded red field, pale geometric centers, and decorative floral border system.
