About the Item

Antique Anatolian Turkmen Runner, Early 20th Century, 3'0" x 9'4", Wool, Mohair, Camel Hair, Long Pile, Short Pile Origin: Konya Province, Central Anatolia, Turkey (Turkmen) Circa: First half of the 20th century Type: Tülü (long-pile tribal rug), runner format Materials: Wool, angora mohair, and camel hair, undyed and naturally in earth-toned colors Dimensions: 3'0" x 9'4" (91 x 284 cm, or 36 x 112 inches) Condition: Excellent — pile dense and even; original fringe intact both ends This rug emphatically demonstrates the resourcefulness of antique village weaving. Handwoven by Anatolian Turkmen in the first half of the twentieth century, it is a long-format runner, thick and sumptuous with a naturally warm hue that reflects the properties of its undyed wool, mohair, and camel fibers.   Beautiful materials in their natural state The plush pile—pure and undyed in its natural state—is more than 1 inch deep. The field is a soft, ivory white, while the border and six diamond medallions present a darker biscuit color. Although the motifs employed are common to village weaving from Turkey in the early twentieth century, the format and pile are unusual. The weaver has experimented with a three-dimensional effect, weaving tassels of silky mohair in bunches throughout the field. Elsewhere, she has used camelhair—an unusual, but highly sought-after material—to fill in the golden-brown grid squares in lower relief. The use of three fibers is unusual, as is the rug’s format and extremely dense and thick pile. As is often the case with village weavings from this era, it is likely that the animals shorn for the rug belonged to the weaver’s own household or extended family. Condition and use This rug will soften contemporary interiors across a range of decorative styles, and its versatility is enhanced by the muted palette of warm-hued materials. The rug is in excellent condition. Its pile is dense and even. The original fringe remain in-tact, and the undyed original warps of different colors can be seen on both ends. The rug will withstand hallway traffic, although some shedding can be expected, particularly in highly active areas. A rug pad will provide a firm grip on hard surfaces.
