This piece is an excellent example of the diversity of the designs and color combinations that you can find in this rug group. The motifs and patterns of these area rugs have been handed down through oral traditions for many centuries.

The climate of the area allows for the production of local wools that are soft and luxurious. This rug is the perfect size for a formal foyer entryway or a long, narrow kitchen. It would also make a soft landing for your feet in a bedroom or as the focal point of a wider hallway.

The natural, earthy feel of this rug is a beautiful foundation for indoor plants, natural woods, terracotta, and natural baskets. The geometric pattern gives it a more formal feel, but it is also casual enough to create a cozy sanctuary. One of the ways that antique rugs are being used by designers is to bridge pieces from different periods and styles.

For people who are buying rugs and tend to gravitate to the more rustic looking rugs, this antique tribal 19th century Anatolian Turkish rug should warrant serious consideration.
