Vintage Konya Rug, 90 × 175 cm / 3 x 5.7 ft Handmade Wool Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade wool rug from Konya, Central Anatolia, featuring a bold geometric composition, strong symmetry, and a warm traditional color palette.

The central field is arranged around three large stepped medallions, each with a different interior motif and contrasting color combination. Their strong angular outlines create a rhythmic and architectural appearance across the warm red ground. A narrow inner border frames the field, while the wide outer border is decorated with repeating octagonal floral and star-like motifs.

The palette combines brick red, burgundy, mustard yellow, charcoal, black, ivory, muted blue, gray, and earthy brown tones. The subtle tonal variations and naturally aged wool surface give the rug an authentic vintage character.

Approximately 60 years old, this piece reflects the individuality of traditional Central Anatolian village weaving.

About Konya Rugs

Konya is one of the historic rug-weaving centers of Central Anatolia, Turkey, with a textile tradition extending across the city and many surrounding villages and rural communities.

Traditional Konya rugs are known for their strong visual identity and can feature large geometric medallions, stepped forms, stylized flowers, stars, prayer niches, hooked motifs, and boldly outlined borders. Designs vary considerably between villages and individual weavers, which is one reason vintage Konya rugs often have such distinctive personalities.

Color also plays an important role in the Konya tradition. Deep reds, warm yellows, dark browns, blues, greens, and ivory tones are frequently combined with strong geometric outlines. Handmade irregularities, tonal shifts, and slight asymmetry are part of the traditional character rather than flaws.

This particular rug is especially appealing for its three-medallion composition and wide border of repeating floral-geometric motifs, giving it a strong folk-art quality.
