Turkish Wool Rugs, Handmade in Anatolia

Anatolia has one of the longest rug-weaving traditions in the world. Every piece in this collection is a handmade Turkish wool rug, woven in a village or town workshop and now decades old. There is only one of each.

Styles of Turkish Wool Rugs

Oushak: soft palettes and open, large-scale motifs from the Usak region.
Kilim: flat-woven wool with bold geometric patterns.
Tribal: nomadic and village designs woven from memory.
Faded and distressed: softened by decades of use and sun.
Tulu: long-pile Anatolian rugs made for warmth.

How They Are Made

Knotted Turkish rugs use the symmetrical Turkish knot, usually a wool pile on a cotton foundation. See Turkish knot rugs and wool on wool rugs for the more traditional village construction. Browse every piece in handmade Turkish rugs.

Are these new or vintage?

They are vintage. Each product page lists the approximate decade the rug was made.

Where in Turkey are they from?
