Contemporary Anatolian Low-Pile Undyed Wool Rug, Turkey - 21st Century

Description

Hand-knotted in Anatolia from 100% undyed wool, this contemporary low-pile rug is distinguished by alternating horizontal bands in warm ivory, soft grey and rich brown. The untreated wool reveals subtle tonal variation, allowing texture and natural colour to define the composition.

For centuries, Anatolia has been one of the world's foremost centres of rug weaving, where generations of artisans developed a rich tradition of hand-knotting using locally sourced wool. While rooted in this enduring craftsmanship, this contemporary piece embraces a restrained aesthetic, replacing elaborate ornament with the natural beauty of untreated fibres, balanced proportions and a refined architectural simplicity.
