About the Item

51193 Vintage Turkish Yastik Rug, 01'05 x 01'11. This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug is a captivating expression of Anatolian artistry, steeped in symbolism and cultural heritage. The rug's striking purple plum-colored field sets a dramatic stage, adorned with two angular floral motifs that add a touch of delicate beauty to the composition. Central to the design are two hooked diamond medallions, known as dragon motifs. In Turkish folklore, the dragon is revered as a great serpent, guarding treasures, secret objects, and the mystical tree of life. The inclusion of these motifs not only enriches the Yastik rug with visual intrigue but also infuses it with layers of symbolic meaning. Each dragon motif is further enhanced by a central cross design, a powerful emblem of protection against the evil eye. According to Anatolian belief, the cross motif disrupts and diminishes the malevolent power of an evil glance by dividing it into four parts. This protective symbol is a testament to the weaver's intent to create a piece that is not only beautiful but also imbued with protective qualities. The corners of the Turkish rug feature concentric triangles, adding a geometric balance that complements the dynamic energy of the dragon motifs. Framing this intricate design is a border of repeating rectilinear four-petal flowers, each flanked by inner and outer barber pole stripes that add a rhythmic flow to the rug's overall composition. The floral border not only enhances the rug's aesthetic appeal but also ties together the symbolic elements within the central field, creating a harmonious and unified design. This vintage Turkish Yastik rug is more than a decorative piece; it is a narrative woven in wool, a story of protection, power, and beauty that invites the beholder to explore its depths. Rendered in variegated shades of purple, plum, light green, beige, light yellow, light sky blue, red, orange, and black coffee with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Hand knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 01'05 x 01'11. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
