Kirsehir Rug

19th century
Description

These central Anaotolian rugs have a distinctive palette with a bold pink cochineal, soft greens and a bright orange red. The wool is soft and the weave loose. The red and white stripes that flank the field are also typical. This is a great example with lots of interest and a wonderful look. On first sight the colours appear unusual and even a little garish, however I find they work well together especially the subdued light green which balances the bright pink. Having left this rug out for few days to inspect it in different lights I fell in love with its soft beauty and then slowly I began to see how rich the red was in the striped border and how well the meandering floral border worked on the yellow background. It is for me a very special rug that I always delight in rolling out.

Excellent condition with just a little corrosion to the black knots and one area where there may have been a burn. Neither detract in any way from its beauty.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Kirsehir rugs originate from Central Anatolia in Turkey, a region famous for producing hand-knotted textiles with distinctive geometric medallions, stepped prayer niches, and vibrant natural dye palettes.

These carpets are hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp/weft foundation, secured with traditional symmetrical Turkish Ghiordes knots.

Authentic pieces feature signature stepped central medallions, multiple detailed guard borders, hand-bound selvedges, natural abrash colour variations, and characteristic magenta, soft green, and warm yellow dye tones.

Incorporate the bold magenta and olive green tones of the rug as an accent focal point by pairing it with neutral floorboards, natural linen furniture, or eclectic maximalist furnishings.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug annually to balance wear and light exposure, and rely on professional hand-washing specialists for deep cleaning.
