Anatolian Yastik Rug

This small piece exhibits a forceful design on a small scale in a small area. These kinds of small Turkish yastiks or mats are found which contain an extraordinary amount of power within a very small space. There are diagonal ascending rows of flowers covering the field. Even though the central motive is already robust and large in size, there is yet room in which to comfortably place the other motifs in the corners. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets and kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas. This tradition dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period of time. The design of this rug is interpreted with a series of borders and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
