Turkish rugs, also known as Anatolian rugs, enjoy worldwide acclaim for their exceptional quality and durability. Artisans hand-knot them using double-knot techniques, which highlight their intricate designs and enduring beauty. These pieces come in various sizes and typically use wool or silk. Natural dyes often feature striking red hues. Because of the double-knot technique, each rug retains its elaborate pattern and structure, even with regular use. At Rug the Rock, we present a curated collection of original, high-quality Turkish rugs and kilims, both hand-knotted and hand-woven.
The rich tradition of Turkish rug-making stretches back to the Turkic tribes who migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia. These groups brought ancient weaving techniques with them. Over time, these skills evolved into a diverse range of styles, reflecting Turkey’s ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity. Consequently, common patterns now include geometric polygons, floral motifs, and symbolic animals, which often appear in rich, naturally dyed colors. Although Turkish rugs maintain a unique identity, some patterns share similarities with Persian and Central Asian rugs, highlighting a shared cultural heritage.
For enthusiasts of the nomadic Anatolian style, we offer the sought-after Oushak Esme kilim. This flatweaves stands out for its distinctive motifs and refined craftsmanship. In addition, we carry village runner rugs to fit narrow spaces and vintage pieces that exude history and charm.
