HOT ! Vintage 1940s Turkish Anatolian Fragment rug 2\'11\" x 4\' (89cm x 122cm) - 1C1245

A captivating example of mid-century Turkish weaving, this 1940s Anatolian fragment rug offers an authentic, storied aesthetic. Born in the heart of central Turkey, this piece has transitioned from a utilitarian floor covering to a unique work of textile art.

This rug is a \"fragment,\" meaning it has been expertly reclaimed and finished to preserve its most beautiful and intact sections. It features bold, geometric tribal motifs characteristic of Anatolian village looms, rendered in a striking aged palette of sun-faded terracotta, deep indigo, and weathered charcoal.

Condition & Character (Distressed)

Authentic Wear: This is a \"distressed\" rug, purposely chosen for its visible history. Expect low pile, areas of beautiful \"abrash\" (natural color variation), and the charming irregularities inherent in 80-year-old handmade textiles. Structural Integrity: Despite its distressed appearance, the rug has been professionally cleaned and the edges have been secured to prevent further fraying, making it perfectly suitable for decorative use.
