Vintage Turkish Floor Cushion from Afyon - originally a family village storage sack but they make great large strong floor cushions. These can also be used as thick rugs! This floor cushion from Turkey has hand-knotted carpet weave on front and hand-woven flat weave kilim on the reverse and measures approximately 50x89cm (1.7½ x 2.11ft) - we love the central bold motif together with little pile lucky charms woven into the kilim ends. See more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.
These pile cushions/sacks are made by the Turkmen Yoruk tribes - the descendants of the Turkic tribes that settled in Central Anatolia hundreds of years ago, in the mountainous countryside inland from the Aegean coast. The name Afyon (Kara Hisar) means, literally “opium black castle” in Turkish, since opium was widely grown here and there is a castle on a black rock.
If you purchase this item unstuffed you will need to sew it up to close it as it is an original piece, and the weavers generally don't use zips! If you would like your cushion stuffed, please purchase the recommended sized filler by ticking the box next to the cushion to add the filler to your basket, we will then sew it up ready for you.
(If the recommend filler has a Hollow Fibre Size 1, 2, 3 or 4 descriptions (HF1, HF2, HF3, HF4) then it means we use a hollow fibre duvet in whatever size fills the cushion, you can also use your own and sew the cushion up yourself after).
Note: we do not ship some of the larger fillers outside the UK Mainland, this is to keep postage costs to a minimum.
