Bergama Rug

19th century
Description

These small square rugs from western Anatolia were dowry pieces, they are light and floppy to the feel and the palette shown is typical of the region. This is a good old example, quite finely knotted for a village rug it has its original kelim ends. The central diamond is beautifully decorated with a complex mirrored design with the border constructed from stepped floral motifs. The random placement of the flowers on the blue background is wonderful, they crowd together and bump into each other. Occasionally one obscures part of its neighbour appearing to slide over it creating a sense of depth. A very good example of the type with a well drawn design.

Fair condition with some wear, the main issue is a tension repair where a crease has been removed and the rug sewn back together.

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

Hailing from the Bergama region in western Anatolia, these rugs are renowned for their bold geometric patterns, central diamond medallions, and rich colour palettes derived from natural dyes.

Authentic pieces are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the underlying warp and weft foundation.

Look for slight structural irregularities in the hand-knotted weave, a flexible all-wool foundation, hand-bound selvedges, and natural abrash colour shifts within the yarns.

Layer the rug over neutral floorboards, introduce it into an eclectic living space alongside wood furniture, or position it as a focal accent in an entryway or library.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar, rotate periodically to distribute foot traffic evenly, and employ specialist dry cleaning when required.
