Red with deep blue detailing, this Vintage Turkish Yahyali rug is a hand knotted rug measuring 2.8 x 5.9 ft (85 x 179 cm), with a central geometric medallion and a traditional patterned border. The red field retains its earthy character, while the blue, green, brown and cream details give the knotted wool rug a layered appearance. Subtle variations in the surface and color are visible across the field, particularly where the red ground meets the darker blue sections. The short fringed ends and slightly uneven woven edges retain the character of the original textile. The central medallion is built from stepped blue outlines surrounding a green interior with smaller red, cream and multicolored floral and geometric figures. Small cross-shaped motifs, angular branches and stylized plant forms occupy the surrounding red field. Dark blue sections at both ends frame the composition, while the outer border carries a continuous arrangement of smaller geometric ornaments. The border combines muted brown, green, blue, red and cream, giving the traditional design definition without overpowering the central pattern. The wool pile has a compact, closely worked appearance, with visible surface variation consistent with an older hand-knotted textile. The red field shows gentle tonal irregularity, and the darker sections retain variations in their coloring rather than a completely uniform finish. These characteristics give the vintage wool rug a naturally aged surface while keeping the medallion and surrounding details readable. The narrow fringe at each end remains part of the rug's original visual character. A piece of textile history: Made in Türkiye in the 1970s. It is a link to an earlier era. It brings a sense of history to the room. This vintage Yahyali rug works as a small accent rug rather than a full-room carpet. Its 85 cm width and 179 cm length suit a bedside placement, a compact foyer or an entryway with enough clearance around the edges. The rectangular proportions also make it suitable as a throw rug beside a reading chair or at the foot of a single bed. The red and blue medallion arrangement provides a defined focal point against simple flooring and understated furniture. For a bedroom rug, measure the exposed floor beside the bed and allow enough space for the full 179 cm length. In an entryway or smaller sitting area, leave the border and both fringed ends visible so the complete traditional pattern can be appreciated. The visible age and surface variation suit a placement where the rug can be seen as an individual vintage textile.
