Size: 1’10” x 13’2″ ft. Antique Oushak rugs have been woven in Western Turkey since the beginning of the Ottoman period. Historians attributed to them many of the great masterpieces of early Turkish carpet weaving from the fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries. However, less is known about what happened to production there in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. When things become clearer toward 1900, the Oushak region re-emerges as a major center, this time for room-size decorative rugs. Antique Turkish carpets such as these are desirable today as highly decorative pieces. They come in central medallion designs as well as patterns of smaller allover medallions or scattered sprays of vine scroll and palmettes. They are notable for the grand, monumental scale of the designs, often a subdued palette in soft apricot and golden saffron tones whose pleasing qualities are enhanced by their particularly soft and lustrous wool.

Size: 4′ x 12′ ft. This beautiful rug has a red background, and ivory border with navy highlights. Fantastic triple medallion design. Yagci Bedir rugs are the creation of the feelings and thoughts of Turkish women for over hundreds of years. Each color in each thread has a special meaning. The colors and patterns used in Yagci Bedir rugs are not randomly chosen and this has been understood years later. These rugs have always been produced by the descendents of Yagci Bedir Nomads, and from them they have taken their name. When “Yagci Bedir” nomads migrated from “Mid Asia” to “Anatolia”, they lived a quiet life in the beginning. They were mostly making a living from owning herds and doing related jobs and not paying any taxes to the Ottoman Empire government. In 1860s, the Ottoman Empire Mayor of Bursa , demanded the Yagci Bedir nomads to change their life styles. This caused a lot of protests and rebellions against the Mayor Ahmet Vefik Pasha. After these incidents, the elders of the Nomads have given the nickname of “Cadir yirtan Pasha” to Ahmet Vefik Pasha. The nickname translates as “Tent Ripper Pasha” . Then, Yagci Bedir Nomads changed their lifestyle from Tribes to settlers and started paying taxes in the form of woodwork used in the ship making or bows ( Keman Yayi – Violin bow ). Rumors have it that the Nomads paid their taxes as bows, which in Turkish is ( Yay – Bow ). They were also called “Yayci Bedir” which translates to “Bow maker Bedir” . Some others say that the Nomads got their name from the “Bedirli Tribes” who carried oil to the muslim prophet Mohammad’s army during the battle at “Bedir” Saudi Arabia. At the end, they come across as sensitive and romantic society of the high plateaus. They may not have put their feelings on paper, but the figures and motifs used in the rugs are not a result of some coincidence – instead they have deep meanings. “Yagci Bedir” rugs are made in “Yagci Bedir” villages in Sindirgi region, an area part of the Balikesir City, and are the most important rugs made in this district. “Yagci Bedir” villages are Karakaya, Egridere, Esmedere, Çakilli and Alakir. Karakaya village is often visited by tours from abroad. Also, the Izmir base of NATO schedules twice-yearly trips to Karakaya. “Yagci Bedir” rugs are grouped in two categories as “Sindirgi” and “Bergama” types. Both types use the same colors and are made in same sizes. “Sindirgi” type rugs, mostly have two “Mihrabs”. A “Mihrab” is the symbol of the unity between religions and is used as a balance factor. There are 7 borders around the “Mihrab” . Inside the borders. there are wings ( Eagle wings ) and also you can see a pair of scales. The meaning of the scales is “No matter how successful or powerful you are, be just”. Between the “Mihrab” and the borders are the guards called “Kocabas”. “Kocabas” is the trusty DOG of the Nomads. In front of the “Kocabas”, is the pasture that contains different plants. “Bergama” types of “Yagci Bedir” rugs, usually have a big round mid section, which is also called ” Belly “. All these handknotted wool rugs are made in various sizes from 100 % regional wool and are double knotted with ( GHIORDES – Turkish double Knots ). “Yagci Bedir ” rugs have between 8500 to 10000 knots per square meter, ( approximately 10 knots by square inches ). Some of the common sizes of “Yagci Bedir” rugs are “Minder”, “Yastik”, “Çeyrek”, “Seccade”, “Karyola”, and “Taban”.They can be also in different dimensions. The techniques in producing the dyes used in the making of “Yagci Bedir” rugs are still one of the best keeped Secrets ( Know-How ). The villagers say that they take the white from “Akdag” ( White mountain ) and the Blue from “Gokdag” ( Sky mountain ) of the region. The colors, been all natural, are obtained by using differents roots. Somes of the roots used in the color mixture are Redroot, Oregano, Poplar, Walnut, Onionskin, Pomegranate etc. Only the coloring experts artisans in the “Yagci Bedir” villages know the Mixture proportions. The color Blue is obtained by mixing “Indigo” with other roots. Blending the color blue with artificial colors creates other colors. This doesn’t mean that the rugs are dyed with artificial dyes. By mixing very small amounts of artificial dye with natural dyes, the paint does not wash away in the washing process of the rugs. Color mixing process has been passed down from one generation to the next within the tribe. To keep this secret in the tribe, the marriages are only performed within the tribe’s members. In extremely great condition! Good amount of pile with sides and ends secured and original. Professionally washed and cleaned with no stains, no odor. |

Size: 3’2″ x 7’1″ ft. Woven in the town of Hereke, in a factory established by the Sultan of Turkey and subsidized by him. The majority of these used traditional oriental designs instead of their own Turkish design. Master weavers were imported to weave and supervise the weaving. This accounts for the fact that many of these – perhaps half of the output – were in oriental designs. Many did employ the designs of the famous Turkish Ghiordes. Good condition! Professionally washed and cleaned. No stains, no odor. Sides and ends original. As shown in pictures. 44120087 101741 |

Turkish rugs are more than just beautiful additions to a room—they’re woven pieces of history, artistry, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re just getting into the world of rugs or you’re a seasoned collector, Turkish rugs offer a unique blend of design, durability, and cultural significance. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at why Turkish rugs are so special, offer tips on how to maintain them, and point you to the best place in Chicago to find your own.
Turkish rug weaving dates back centuries, with roots in the Ottoman Empire and even earlier. Historically, these rugs were not only used for decoration but also served practical purposes—offering warmth, comfort, and even religious significance in the form of prayer rugs.
The craft of rug weaving in Turkey has been passed down through generations. Each rug tells a story, often tied to the region it comes from, and every piece is a blend of artistry and functionality. What’s fascinating is that Turkish weavers, particularly in rural villages, have long created these rugs using hand-spun wool and natural dyes. The result is a piece that ages beautifully over time and offers a glimpse into a tradition that has stood the test of time.
Turkish rugs are often made by hand, which sets them apart from the machine-made rugs that are so common today. The signature Ghiordes (or Turkish) knot—a tight, double knot—makes these rugs exceptionally durable. It’s this craftsmanship that gives them their longevity, with many Turkish rugs lasting for generations.
When it comes to designs, Turkish rugs vary by region:
Turkish rugs are often dyed with natural materials—plants, fruits, and minerals—which gives them a rich, deep color that doesn’t fade easily. The colors soften and mellow with time, which adds to their charm.
Once you’ve found the perfect Turkish rug, keeping it in good condition requires a little attention and care. While Turkish rugs are built to last, there are a few things you can do to keep them looking their best.
Rugs can trap dirt and dust, so vacuuming regularly will help keep them clean. Be gentle and use the vacuum’s suction-only setting (without the beater bar) to avoid damaging the fibers. If you have a flat-weave Kilim rug, vacuum both sides for a deeper clean.
Foot traffic and sunlight can cause uneven wear over time. To keep your rug from fading or wearing out in certain spots, rotate it every few months. This is especially important if your rug is in a high-traffic area like a living room or hallway.
Accidents happen—if you spill something on your rug, clean it up immediately. Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth, but don’t rub it, as that can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For tougher stains, mix a little mild soap with water and blot gently.
Direct sunlight can cause the colors of your Turkish rug to fade. If your rug is in a sunny spot, consider using curtains or blinds to reduce exposure. You can also rotate the rug regularly to minimize sun damage.
Even with regular care, a professional cleaning every few years is a good idea. Make sure to take your rug to a professional cleaner who specializes in handmade rugs. They’ll know how to handle delicate fibers and natural dyes to restore your rug without causing damage.
Turkish rugs, especially those made from wool, don’t do well in damp environments. Keep your rug dry to prevent mold and mildew from forming. If it does get wet, dry it out as soon as possible by hanging it in a well-ventilated area or using a fan.
