1950’s Turkish Bergama Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

79178 Vintage Turkish Bergama Rug, 02'01 x 03'09. A radiant relic of Anatolian heritage, this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Bergama rug evokes the bold spirit and tribal mastery of the northwestern weaving traditions of Turkey. At its core, two striking octagonal medallions rise like sentinels of Anatolia, each composed with stepped edges and hooked motifs that echo the protective symbols of the Yoruk and Turkmen nomads. Rendered in vivid madder red and framed in earthy camel brown and violet, the medallions pulse with an archaic rhythm—bearing within them a geometric language of harmony, strength, and spiritual continuity. Around these powerful forms, the field unfolds with jagged spandrels and angular vine work, reminiscent of ram’s horn (kocboynuzu) motifs and amuletic shapes designed to ward off evil. The architecture of the design reveals a dialogue between symmetry and improvisation, where precision meets rustic charm. The palette—alive with vegetal dyes of saffron, russet, aubergine, ivory, and sage—invokes the natural world that once surrounded the tribal weavers of the Bergama region, whose looms mirrored their lived landscape. The border is an anthem to balance and protection, with stylized rosettes alternating with barbed leaf forms and linear blossoms on a glowing red ground. These elements form a rhythmic procession, enclosing the field in a symbolic frame of fertility and eternal return. The minor guard stripes, in contrast, offer linear repose, grounding the central drama with an unspoken restraint. Together, these features form a timeless composition that pays homage to centuries of West Anatolian folk aesthetics. Worn with dignity and softened by time, this vintage Bergama rug is not merely decorative—it is a woven document of cultural identity. Its tribal spirit, expressive color, and symbolic structure make it equally suited for ethnographic collections, rustic interiors, or as a soulful accent in a layered contemporary space. Whether admired on the floor or the wall, it tells the enduring tale of Anatolia’s highland weavers—bold, mystical, and enduringly rooted in the loom of memory. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 02'01 x 03'09. Pile Height: 0.29 of an inch. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
