About the Item

This striking 19th Century Turkish Bergama village rug is a refined example of Anatolian tribal weaving, celebrated for its powerful geometry, saturated natural dyes, and spiritual symbolism. Handwoven in the Anatolia region of western Turkey in the late 1800s, the rug is rendered in the traditional prayer-format layout, a revered design associated with protection, devotion, and balance. The composition is anchored by a glowing madder-red field and border, a hallmark of authentic Bergama weavings. While at first glance the palette appears monochromatic, a closer look reveals a sophisticated range of red tonalities—deep crimson, warm brick, and soft rose—beautifully enhanced by subtle accents of cream and rich brown. Woven using natural vegetable dyes and hand-spun wool, this rug displays the bold drawing and tactile character that have made Bergama carpets highly sought after by collectors and designers alike. Adding to its distinction, this Bergama rug originates from the private collection of a renowned San Francisco vintage rug connoisseur, underscoring its authenticity, quality, and collectability.

Vintage Persian Qashqai Tribal Room Size Rug in Red, Navy, Ivory, Brown
Located in Barrington, IL
Vintage Persian Qashqai (Ghashghai) Tribal Area Rug, hand-knotted in Southwestern Persia circa the mid-1900s. The Qashqai nomadic tribes are celebrated for their distinctive weaving traditions, producing rugs that are as rich in cultural narrative as they are in beauty and durability. This Qashqai rug showcases a classic traditional tribal design format, centered around a prominent single large medallion that anchors the composition. This central motif is beautifully complemented by four smaller medallions thoughtfully placed within the corner spandrels, creating a harmonious and balanced layout. The vibrant red field color provides a warm and inviting backdrop for the design. The central medallion stands out in a deep dark blue, while the corner spandrels feature a contrasting small medallion in creamy ivory. The palette is further enriched with accents of bold blue, refreshing green, and spirited orange, characteristic of tribal weaves. True to their heritage, Qashqai tribes primarily utilize natural vegetable dyes for their rich hues, with the exception of the vibrant orange color, which often signals a charming, subtle deviation common in mid-century tribal pieces. Woven entirely from all-wool material, this rug offers a soft yet incredibly durable texture, designed to withstand generations of use. Dimensions: 5’ 8” x 8’ 2” Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter of the 1900s Place of Origin: Persia Material: Wool pile on a wool foundation with vegetable dyes Condition: Wear consistent with age and use The Persian Knot Gallery, SKU: 1348 Qashqai Tribal Rugs, Shiraz Tribal Rug, Tribal Qashqai Carpets, Antique Qashqai Rugs, Antique Qashqai Weaving, Antique Nomadic Bags, Antique Wall Textiles, Qashqai Salt Bags, Qashqai Tribal Bagface, Qashqai Saddlebags, Tribal Persian Rugs, Tribal Persian Weaving, Qashqai Tribal Salt Bags, South Persian Tribes, Qashqai Paisley Rugs, Paisley Rugs, Paisley Carpets...

A beautifully preserved antique Heriz Karajeh area rug, handwoven in Northwest Persia circa the late 1800s.
