About the Item
78935 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Yuruk Rug Runner, 03'00 x 08'02. This enchanting Late 19th Century Turkish Yuruk rug is a remarkable testament to the artistry and cultural heritage of Anatolia's nomadic weavers. Hand-knotted by the Yuruk people, a nomadic group known for their distinctive and bold rug-making traditions, this piece captures the rustic beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The rich, natural dyes and geometric motifs echo the region’s landscape and the weavers' deep connection to nature. As the nomads moved from place to place, their looms followed, allowing them to weave their heritage into every rug, imbuing each with a sense of life on the move.
The Turkish rug's central design is dominated by large, diamond-shaped medallions, arranged in a repeating vertical pattern. These geometric forms are meticulously crafted in shades of deep indigo, vibrant reds, and earthy browns, set against a rich backdrop of warm tones. The hooked designs within each diamond create a dynamic interplay of color and form, drawing the eye inward. This composition reflects the Yuruk's spiritual connection to the natural world and their use of symbolism to convey stories, protection, and prosperity. The intricate detailing within the medallions adds a layer of depth and complexity, showcasing the skill of the weaver.
The borders of the rug are equally captivating, featuring an array of smaller Bereket motifs that dance along the edges in rhythmic repetition. These Bereket symbols, representing fertility, combine the hands-on-hips 'elibelinde' motifs for the female and the ram's horn 'kocboynuzu' motifs for the male, together signifying the union of man and woman. The eye motif nestled within the composition serves as protection against the evil eye, further emphasizing the rug's role in safeguarding the family and home. The border’s palette mirrors the vibrant central field, with its earthy reds, oranges, and blues. The border not only frames the design but also enhances its visual impact, creating a harmonious balance between the central medallions and the outer edges. These repeated motifs, often symbolic of protection and fertility, reflect the Yuruk’s deep belief in nurturing and safeguarding their homes and their heritage. The craftsmanship of these borders speaks to the weavers' technical expertise and their eye for precision.
This antique Yuruk rug exudes a sense of history and character that can only come from a piece created over a century ago. Its wool pile has aged gracefully, offering a soft, textured feel underfoot, while the natural dyes have mellowed to a rich patina, evoking a timeless quality. As a functional piece of art, this tribal Turkish rug brings the heritage of the Yuruk nomads into contemporary spaces, making it a perfect addition for collectors and admirers of authentic, handcrafted rugs. Owning such a piece is like holding a fragment of Turkish history, woven by hands that carried traditions through the ages.
