Vintage Konya Yatak Halisi Rug, 4.4 x 5.7 ft Handmade Wool Rug, Turkish Mountain Sleeping Rug

A distinctive vintage Konya mountain Yatak Halısı, handmade from wool and characterized by its dense pile, bold geometric composition, and richly expressive folk motifs.

The central field is organized into twelve large geometric compartments, each containing stylized motifs in contrasting colors. These repeating forms are surrounded by decorative borders filled with small floral, geometric, and symbolic elements. The combination of deep red, black, dark navy, yellow, soft blue, ivory, green, coral, and muted earthy tones gives the rug a particularly vibrant and authentic village character.

Approximately 80 years old, this piece comes from the traditional mountain weaving culture of the Konya region. Its substantial wool construction and distinctive design reflect a textile made not simply for decoration, but for practical everyday use in a traditional household.

What is a Yatak Halısı?

“Yatak Halısı” literally means “sleeping rug” or “bed rug” in Turkish. Traditionally, these rugs were woven with a relatively thick and warm wool pile and used in rural and nomadic households as part of the sleeping area. They could be laid on the floor to provide warmth and insulation beneath bedding, and in some communities they were also associated with the preparation and furnishing of sleeping spaces.

Because they were intended for comfort and warmth, Yatak Halıları are often heavier, softer, and more substantial than ordinary decorative rugs. Today, surviving vintage examples are appreciated both as functional floor textiles and as collectible pieces representing Anatolian domestic and nomadic life.
