Vintage Konya Rug, 96 × 200 cm / 3.1 x 6.6 ft Handmade Wool Rug

A distinctive handmade wool rug from Konya, Turkey, featuring a Caucasian Shirvan-inspired design with bold geometric forms, repeating medallions, and a richly structured border composition.

The central field is organized around a sequence of large cross-shaped geometric medallions in brick red, muted green, ivory, dark navy, and earthy tones. Smaller stepped and angular motifs fill the spaces between them, creating the dense, rhythmic geometry associated with Caucasian-inspired carpet designs.

The multiple surrounding borders are especially decorative, combining repeating hooked forms, angular ornaments, small diamonds, and stylized geometric motifs. The ivory main border provides strong contrast against the darker central field, while blue and red outer bands complete the composition.

Approximately 20 years old, this rug combines traditional handmade Turkish craftsmanship with a design vocabulary inspired by historic Caucasian weaving.

About the Shirvan Design

Shirvan refers to a historic rug-weaving tradition associated with the eastern Caucasus, particularly present-day Azerbaijan. Traditional Shirvan rugs are widely recognized for their precise geometric organization, multiple narrow borders, strong contrasts, and repeated angular motifs.

This particular piece, however, is not presented as an antique Shirvan rug from the Caucasus. It was handmade in Konya, Turkey, using a design inspired by traditional Caucasian and Shirvan carpet patterns.

Shirvan-inspired designs commonly feature:

• Repeated geometric medallions
• Cross, diamond, and stepped forms
• Hooked and angular motifs
• Dense multiple-border compositions
• Strong symmetry and repeating patterns
• Red, blue, ivory, green, brown, and earthy color combinations

This rug is therefore best described as a Konya-made Turkish rug with a Caucasian Shirvan-inspired design, combining Anatolian craftsmanship with Caucasian decorative influence.
