A Vintage Gördes–Uşak Rug with Bold Medallion
This vintage Turkish rug is hand-knotted in the Gördes–Uşak region approximately 70 years ago using a wool pile on a cotton foundation and naturally dyed with vegetable pigments. Designed for durability and everyday living, it offers a soft, inviting feel underfoot while showcasing the refined craftsmanship associated with this renowned weaving area.
Design & Color Story
Set on a rich blue field, the rug features a large central medallion framed by an intricately detailed floral border. Accents of soft pink, and ivory add warmth and contrast, creating a layered, expressive composition. The balance between bold structure and delicate detailing gives the rug a strong visual presence without overwhelming the space. Its subtle distressed patina enhances depth and authenticity, allowing it to feel collected and timeless.
