66 X 96cm Early 19th Century Konya Yastic

19th century
Description

A very collectable and early Turkish cushion cover (Yastic). These small weavings are full of symbolism and mystical images. The central star is hanging in a deep blue firmament surrounded by other star-like points. Top and bottom the opposing green shapes resemble animals. A 200 year old rug showing commensurate wear and tear but still a fascinating document from a different time.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1800s:
Deep indigo and madder wools: natural dyestuffs used before synthetic colours.
Corroded dark brown wool outlines: iron mordants oxidising slowly over generations.
Hand-knotted wool pile on wool foundation: village weaving on traditional looms.
Pile worn low across the field: long domestic use as a cushion.
Surviving flatwoven kilim ends: original finish of an Anatolian cushion face.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This early nineteenth-century Anatolian Konya yastik is a small Turkish wool cushion cover measuring 96 cm high and 66 cm wide. Designed in a tribal Anatolian style, the piece displays a central navy blue diamond medallion set against a terracotta woven background. Numerous small geometric flower heads fill the deep blue field, anchored by a central star motif and bordered with step-patterned bands in shades of blue and orange. The hand-knotted pile shows commensurate wear and tear, including frayed fringed ends at the top and bottom and minor surface softening. Practical for placement in a hallway, bedroom, or living space, this rug functions as a decorative wall hanging or floor accent. The nomadic symbols and vibrant terracotta, blue, and cream tones suit various interior settings seeking an authentic ethnic textile. Maintenance requires gentle professional cleaning appropriate for antique wool carpets to preserve the historic weave.

FAQs

A yastik is a traditional Turkish hand-woven cushion cover or small face rug, historically produced in central Anatolia for domestic seating and storage.

These textiles were hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheep wool for both the pile and foundation, dyed with natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool construction, slight irregular variations in weaving symmetry, natural dye abrash colour shifts, and traditional tribal geometric motifs.

Small Anatolian woven textiles are frequently mounted and framed as wall art, displayed over tabletop surfaces, or layered above larger neutral carpets.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight, vacuum gently without a rotating beater brush, and rely on professional textile conservators for periodic cleaning.
