Born in the heart of central Turkey, this piece has transitioned from a utilitarian floor covering to a unique work of textile art.

This rug is a "fragment," meaning it has been expertly reclaimed and finished to preserve its most beautiful and intact sections. It features bold, geometric tribal motifs characteristic of Anatolian village looms, rendered in a striking aged palette of sun-faded terracotta, deep indigo, and weathered charcoal.
