Saroyan - 7' 3'' x 10' 8''
Faded Anatolian Medallion Rug
7' 3'' x 10' 8'' | 220 cm x 326 cm
OVERVIEW
This 1950s Turkish Anatolian rug offers an ethereal presence through its remarkably subtle patterning and weathered palette. The hand-knotted wool displays a traditional medallion-and-corner composition that now appears as a gentle whisper across the surface. Time has transformed bold patterns into quiet suggestions, creating a piece where history and contemporary minimalism find perfect harmony.
COLORS & DETAILS
Pale ivory fields provide a luminous canvas where faded stone blue motifs appear like shadows. Soft sand accents add warmth to the composition, while a delicate border featuring scrolling vines and rosettes in muted blue frames the design with quiet dignity. This weathered palette creates a tone-on-tone effect where patterns emerge and recede with shifting light.
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE
Our commitment to authentic representation guides every image. Studio lighting captures the rug's true essence, while showroom photographs in natural sunlight may display warmer undertones. Each piece appears exactly as it exists, without digital manipulation or enhancement.
CONDITION
This vintage piece has been professionally cleaned to preserve its distinctive character while ensuring its beauty for years to come. Upon arrival, simply unroll your rug in any dry area—indoors or outdoors—and allow the natural wool fibers to acclimate after transit. This brief resting period helps the rug adapt to its new environment before taking its place in your home.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Anatolian region represents the cultural crossroads of Turkey, where centuries of diverse influences have shaped a rich weaving tradition. Village rugs from this area often display a fascinating blend of geometric tribal elements and more formal urban patterns, creating pieces with distinctive character and artistic sensitivity.
Design Elements
With its understated layout and restrained palette, this Anatolian rug offers a beautifully quiet presence. The medallion-and-corner format has been softened by natural age, creating a near tone-on-tone aesthetic where the eye discovers details gradually rather than immediately. The decorative borders with their gentle curvature reflect the artistic sensibility of Anatolian village weaving, where traditional patterns were interpreted with personal expression.
Placement
The 7' 3'' x 10' 8'' dimensions make this rug ideal for living rooms, dining areas, or primary bedrooms. Its neutral palette of ivory and faded blue creates a versatile foundation for diverse interior styles, particularly those embracing light-filled, serene aesthetics. The subtle patterning allows it to complement both minimal and more layered design approaches without competing for attention.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing
Professional cleaning recommended annually
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity
Turkish Anatolian rugs represent an authentic expression of regional artistry and cultural heritage. Their weathered beauty and subtle character create a timeless presence that enhances contemporary interiors with quiet sophistication and historical resonance.
