11734 Small Turkish Malatya Rug 52x88cm (1.8½ x 2.10½ft)

Small authentic hand-knotted Turkish wool rug from Malatya, an apricot growing region of Eastern Anatolia.  Hand woven - 100% Wool on Wool.  Rugs from Malatya tend to have excellent soft and superior wool quality together with bold, simple designs. This one of a kind, traditional rug from Turkey measures approximately 52x88cm (1.8½ x 2.10½ft) excluding any tassels - we love the pretty lilac and teal in one of the borders and the general soft, pale colours in this small rug.

Malatya is one of the largest cities of central-eastern Anatolia, between the steppes of Central Anatolia and the rugged terrain of Eastern Anatolia. This region is renowned for its amazing apricot orchards, some of the best organic apricots come out of this region. Rugs have been produced in this area for 100's of years although much less so in recent times.

As these pretty rugs are small they can be used in many places around the home; by the fire, in doorways, small rooms or something luxurious to step out of bed onto!  All of our Small Turkish rugs are Village made and have lovely soft wool pile and beautiful colour combinations.
