A Distressed Antique Turkish Rug with Soft Geometry and Floral Balance
This antique Turkish rug is hand-knotted in the western region of Turkey approximately 100 years ago using wool-on-cotton and naturally dyed with vegetable pigments. Its gently worn surface and refined construction offer both durability and a soft, inviting feel underfoot, making it as livable as it is expressive.
Design & Color Story
The rug features an allover geometric pattern that creates rhythm and structure across the field, framed by a large floral border that adds softness and visual contrast. Rendered in a muted palette of ivory, light green, and pink-red, the design feels calm and layered rather than bold, allowing it to blend seamlessly into both modern and traditional interiors. The distressed finish enhances its character, giving the rug a collected, timeless presence.
