12157 Small Vintage Turkish Sivas Handknotted Rug 47x75cm (1.6½ x 2.5½ft)

Small authentic semi antique hand-knotted Turkish wool rug from the Sivas region of Central Anatolia. This one of a kind traditional handmade rug from Turkey measures approximately 47x75cm (1.6½ x 2.5½ft) excluding any fringes - we love the nice balanced colour way and central medallion design in this piece.  There is also the weaver's inscription woven into the pattern, although unfortunately its quite hard to decipher what it reads.

Sivas (Central Anatolia) is a place of great historical importance on the silk route where a mix of people, Kurdish, Turkish and Armenian have lived for centuries.  Anatolian Sivas Rugs are some of the oldest rugs and have a similarity to those of the nearby Malatya region. 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!  For information on our Rug Underlays look here.
