This vintage Turkish rug from around 1960 features a striking elongated central medallion with a diamond shape containing a smaller inner panel in green and ivory, set on a rich red field. Slender tree-like branches extend from the medallion toward the corners, accompanied by small floral and geometric elements that create an open, airy tribal composition. Multiple borders include repeating stylized flowers, hooked motifs, and narrow guard bands in contrasting beige and green, giving the piece a refined yet rustic appearance.
Turkish rugs from the mid-20th century often blend traditional tribal patterns with lighter, more spacious layouts influenced by export demands. This transitional style softens bold Anatolian designs with elegant lines and natural-dyed colors that have faded gently over time. The fine wool pile and hand-knotted construction provide a soft texture and solid durability typical of vintage pieces from this period.
Perfect for medium-sized living rooms, dining areas, or entryways where it can sit under furniture or define a space. The warm red field adds cozy energy, while the open design keeps the room feeling light and balanced. Its great condition and natural colors make it easy to pair with both traditional and modern furniture.
