This antique Turkish Konya rug fragment showcases a richly detailed and vibrant geometric design characteristic of Konya weaving traditions. The fragment features a complex array of star and cross motifs in vivid shades of red, blue, ivory, and mustard yellow, all set against a deep brown background that adds depth and contrast to the composition. The left side of the fragment includes a vertical border with repeating diamond and medallion patterns in complementary colours, enhancing the overall symmetry and balance.
The worn areas and patina of the rug speak to its age and history, highlighting the natural fading and wear that antique textiles acquire over time, which adds authentic character. The intricate knotting and use of natural dyes are typical of traditional Konya rugs, reflecting a heritage of skilled craftsmanship and cultural storytelling through symbolic motifs.
This fragment is a valuable piece for collectors or decorators looking to incorporate a piece of Turkish artisanal heritage, known for its bold patterns and rich colours, into their space.
