Explore the legacy of Anatolian rugs, a term that encompasses the rich tapestry of carpets woven in Anatolia and its surrounding regions. Geographically, this area aligns with the historical dominion of the Ottoman Empire, a territory where the art of rug-making flourished. In ancient Anatolia, where harsh winters were a reality, ingenious weavers turned to the abundant resource of lamb's wool to craft thick-pile rugs that provided both warmth and comfort. Over millennia, this tradition evolved and was carried forth by nomadic Turks, eventually leaving an indelible mark on human culture and society. Our magnificent early 20th century Antique Yastik Anatolian Rug, measuring 1'8" x 2'10", invites you to behold its intricate beauty.
