Vintage Turkish Overdyed Rug, Modern Industrial Meets Maximalist Bohemian
Located in Dallas, TX
60767 Vintage Turkish Overdyed Rug, 09’02 x 12’03.
Get ready to embark on a design adventure where Modern Industrial locks horns with Maximalist Bohemian in this hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish overdyed rug. It's like a design manifesto with a cheeky twist, a little bit of everything thrown into the mix. The gossamery eclectic design and lively color palette are like a symphony of chaos, capturing the essence of Boho Chic and Maximalism, but with a historical twist that's as intriguing as a good mystery novel. It's the rug equivalent of an art party.
Imagine a composition so lavishly appointed it makes Versailles look modest. There's a prominent quatrefoil medallion outlined with intricate acanthus scrollwork and adorned with ogival pendants at each end. And that's just the beginning. In the center, there's an enchanting medallion, richly ornamented with barely-there stylized florals and foliage, like a hidden treasure amidst a bold field of abstract botanicals.
But what truly makes this rug pop is the color scheme. The allure of hot pink is balanced by the cool tranquility of gray hues, all while harmonizing with the warm greige undertones. It's a party where everyone's invited, and the result is an esoteric juxtaposition that's as bold as it is beguiling. And let's not forget the pronounced spandrels, like classic motifs that got the memo to party. They radiate from the corners, adding their own touch of charm to this riot of design.
But it's not just a rug; it's a lifestyle. Reflecting avant-garde style and a no-fuss design aesthetic, this vintage overdyed rug has masterfully fused the realms of Maximalist Boho and Industrial Glam...

Antique and Vintage Turkish Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs: Shop Authentic Oushak Rugs, Bergama Carpets and Other Turkish Rugs
Antique and vintage Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century, when the Turks of the Seljuk Empire began weaving these vibrant carpets in Anatolia.
A Turkish rug is simply one made in Turkey or the former Ottoman empire, employing the region’s unique traditional methods and weaves. Varieties range from flat-woven kilims to lush knotted rugs, known as hali, many of which are created with Ghiordes, or Turkish, knots. Whereas in other knots, the weft (crosswise) yarn is wrapped around one warp (lengthwise) yarn, in Ghiordes knots, it is wrapped around two, imparting lushness and durability. In addition to knotting techniques, Turkish rugs differ in their motifs — naturalistic or stylized, geometric or figurative — which often reflect the region where they were made.
The main types of Turkish rugs, as Milan-based carpet dealer Alfredo Levi explains it, are kilim, typified by a plain slit-tapestry weave, which leaves a gap, or slit, between sections woven with different yarns in different colors; sumak, made with weft wrapping, for a sturdier flat-woven carpet; and cicim, which he describes as “a type of sumak with extra brocade techniques typical of the tribes and villages of central Anatolia.
Within each type, there are various regional styles. Among these are Bergama carpets, characterized by bright reds and strong medallions; thick-piled Tulu rugs; and Konya rugs, which Marco Polo is said to have called “the most beautiful in the world.” With their strong tribal motifs and hot-red wefts of especially luxurious wool, Konya carpets are especially prized by collectors.
Also treasured are Oushak (or Ushak) rugs, with their complex, intricate designs and warm earth tones of saffron, cinnamon, blue, ivory and gold; and Hereke carpets, originally created exclusively for Ottoman sultans, using the finest silk. For Jason Nazmiyal, of New York carpet dealer Nazmiyal Antique Rugs, “a good Turkish rug is when the colors are harmonious.” This is true of both modern and antique Turkish rugs, but the hues have changed over the centuries, thanks to both technology and changes in culture and taste.
Patterns, too, have evolved. Although many weavers continue to produce traditional designs, others reinterpret their cultural heritage in contemporary terms, with bolder ornamentation and more geometric motifs. Contemporary Turkish rugs also are seldom made by hand and often incorporate synthetics into the weave, for cost-effectiveness and a durability suited to 21st-century life.
