Vintage Konya Obruk Rug – Rare "Chest Find" (Never Used) – c. 50-60 Years Old
The Rare Opportunity of "New-Old-Stock"
This is a remarkable example of traditional Anatolian artistry. Woven approximately 50 to 60 years ago in the famous Obruk (Konya) region, this rug has spent its entire life carefully stored in a traditional dowry chest. It has never been used on a floor, meaning the pile and structure are in the exact same condition as the day it came off the loom.
Design & Aesthetic Masterpiece:
The Medallion: Features the iconic, sharp geometric central medallion that has made Obruk rugs famous among collectors.
The Palette: A sophisticated harmony of deep madder red, midnight navy blue, and crisp ivory tones. Because it was kept away from sunlight, the colors are as vibrant and saturated as they were half a century ago.
The Wool: Hand-spun from high-altitude Anatolian sheep, the wool possesses a natural lanolin-rich sheen that creates a subtle glow and "abrash" effect under different lighting conditions.
Condition:
Mint/Unused: No wear, no stains, no repairs, and no fading.
Cleanliness: Professionally dusted and cleaned, ready for immediate use in a luxury interior.
Texture: Soft yet incredibly durable, typical of the tight Konya weave.

Imperial: 57 x 93 inches

Size Category: Perfect for a living room (saloon), dining area, or a large office space.
