Semi-antique Floral Turkish Rug |260x130cm

An authentic, 50-year-old vintage rug hand-knotted in the Denizli region of Western Anatolia. This piece features a distinct floral design—likely a stylized interpretation of the "Isparta Rose" motif—set against a creamy beige field with a classic rust-red border. Its dimensions make it a perfect "Gallery" size, ideal for wide hallways, entryways, or alongside a bed.

Rust-Red Border (Madder Root): The earthy, grounded red is achieved using Madder root (Rubia tinctorum), a classic Anatolian pigment that provides a warm, non-synthetic frame to the floral field.

Pastel Pinks (Pomegranate & Light Madder): These delicate rose tones are created by varying the acidity of pomegranate skins or light concentrations of madder root, resulting in a "dusty" pink that resists the harshness of modern chemicals.

Soft Greens (Indigo over Yellow Flowers): The organic greens in the leaf motifs are a result of "double-dyeing"—using Natural Indigo over a base of yellow-producing Wild Camomile or Weld.

Creamy Beige (Natural Highland Wool): The luminous field is the natural, undyed wool of the region, chosen for its high lanolin content which gives the rug its "silky" sheen and aged patina.

Styling Note
