Vintage Konya Yatak Halisi Rug, 136 × 180 cm / 4.5 x 5.9 ft Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade Konya yatak halısı, woven from wool in Nuzumla Village in the mountainous countryside of Konya, Central Anatolia. Measuring 136 × 180 cm (4.5 × 5.9 ft), this approximately 70-year-old textile stands out with its thick, shaggy pile, vibrant colors, and bold geometric composition.

The central field features two large diamond-shaped medallions, outlined in ivory and filled with smaller geometric color blocks. The surrounding surface is densely woven in shades of mustard yellow, orange, burgundy, deep navy, green, red, ivory, and black, creating a highly textured and energetic appearance.

The long wool pile gives the piece a noticeably softer, thicker, and more three-dimensional surface than a conventional Turkish village rug.

About Konya Yatak Halısı & Nuzumla Village

The Turkish expression “yatak halısı” literally means “bed rug” or “sleeping rug.” These thick wool textiles were traditionally made for practical household use, providing warmth, softness, and insulation, particularly in colder rural and mountainous environments.

Unlike ordinary low-pile carpets, yatak halıları often have a deep, shaggy wool pile, making them more cushioned and tactile. Their construction reflects both the practical needs and weaving traditions of rural Anatolian communities.

This example comes from Nuzumla Village in the mountainous Konya region. Its thick wool surface is particularly characteristic of textiles made for environments where warmth and insulation were important. The bold geometric motifs and vivid use of color also give the piece a strong village-weaving character.

Today, original yatak halıları are especially appealing as collectible Anatolian textiles, high-pile accent rugs, bedside rugs, or statement pieces in contemporary interiors.
