Vintage Konya Sille Rug, 98 × 150 cm / 3.2 x 4.9 ft Handmade Wool Rug

A charming vintage handmade wool rug from Sille, Konya, featuring a softly aged rose-red field, an ornate floral central medallion, and dark botanical borders that give the piece an elegant traditional Anatolian character.

The composition is centered around a large floral medallion with a dark charcoal-brown ground and a warm yellow flower-like center. Small blossoms, leaves, and curving botanical forms surround the medallion, creating a dense decorative focal point against the softer red field.

The four corners echo the central design with dark floral sections containing stylized leaves and blossoms. A broad dark border frames the composition with repeating palmette-like flowers, rosettes, scrolling vines, and botanical motifs in dusty pink, ivory, yellow, olive, brown, and muted red.

Approximately 70 years old, the rug has developed beautiful natural fading and patina. The softened rose, pink, and earthy tones give it a particularly warm and relaxed vintage appearance.
