Vintage Konya Rug, 80 × 125 cm / 2.6 x 4.1 ft Rug, Handmade Wool Turkish Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade Konya rug from Central Turkey, woven from wool and featuring a bold geometric composition in deep traditional colors. Measuring 80 × 125 cm (2.6 × 4.1 ft), this approximately 60-year-old piece has a compact format that works beautifully as both a functional small rug and a decorative textile.

The design is centered around a large elongated geometric medallion with stepped outlines, serrated forms, star-like motifs, stylized branches, and small symbolic geometric details. The symmetrical arrangement gives the rug a strong architectural quality.

The deep navy-blue field creates a dramatic background for warm brick red and muted crimson motifs, while an ivory guard border introduces contrast and clearly frames the composition. Smaller repeating motifs throughout the field and borders add rhythm without making the overall design feel overly busy.

About Konya Rugs

Konya, located in Central Anatolia, is one of Turkey’s historically important weaving regions. Rugs from the wider Konya area are known for their strong geometric vocabulary, bold color contrasts, stylized symbolic motifs, and robust wool construction.

Rather than aiming for perfect mechanical symmetry, traditional village weavers often introduced small variations in motif placement, proportions, and color. These differences give handmade Konya rugs their individual character.

This piece is especially notable for its:

• Large central geometric medallion
• Deep navy and red color combination
• Stepped and serrated geometric forms
• Stylized star and branch-like motifs
• Multiple structured border bands
• Traditional handmade wool construction
• Compact decorative proportions
