Vintage Kırşehir Rug, 3.1 x 4.9 ft Handmade Wool Rug, Central Anatolian Turkish Area Rug

A distinctive vintage handmade wool rug from the Kırşehir area of Central Anatolia, featuring a balanced geometric composition, warm naturally aged colors, and the strong decorative character associated with traditional Central Turkish weaving.

The central field is dominated by a large terracotta geometric medallion with a stylized floral motif at its center. Muted green corner sections frame the main composition, while narrow side panels contain repeated hooked and symbolic geometric forms. Multiple surrounding borders are filled with stars, diamonds, angular motifs, and small floral elements.

The palette combines terracotta, burnt orange, muted olive green, soft lavender, ivory, brown, faded red, and charcoal accents. The softened tones and subtle variations across the wool surface give the piece an authentic and beautifully aged appearance.

Approximately 90 years old, this rug carries the patina and individuality expected from a genuine handmade vintage textile.

About Kırşehir Rugs

Kırşehir is an important historic weaving region in Central Anatolia, Turkey, located between several major traditional carpet-producing areas.

Kırşehir rugs are particularly known for their strong geometric organization and distinctive village character. Traditional examples may feature:

Central medallions and stepped geometric forms
Stylized flowers, stars, diamonds, and hooked motifs
Structured border systems
Warm reds, terracotta, yellow, green, blue, ivory, and brown tones
Bold outlines combined with finely detailed secondary patterns

Kırşehir weaving is also well known for prayer rugs, although the regional tradition includes many other formats and compositions. Designs were traditionally interpreted by individual village weavers, so older examples often display variations in proportion, motif placement, and color that make each piece unique.

This particular rug stands out for its large central medallion, decorative side panels, muted earthy palette, and layered geometric borders, giving it a strong Central Anatolian folk-art identity.
