Description | Discover a rare piece of Anatolian heritage with this exquisite hand-knotted Ladik rug. A beautiful reflection of the region's elegant weaving legacy, this carpet features a striking series of large octagonal medallions set against a rich red field. This design, characteristic of later period Ladik rugs, showcases a unique blend of Eastern Anatolian and Caucasian influences. The central octagons are more than just an aesthetic choice; they are imbued with deep symbolism. Representing the union of the four cardinal directions, they symbolize balance and integrity. According to traditional beliefs, these medallions also offer protection against negative energies. Echoing ancient Central Asian shamanic culture, the design tells a story of the cycle of life and universal order. Woven with the robust Turkish knot, this wool-on-wool rug has been colored with natural vegetable dyes. Over time, the vibrant hues have softened into a beautiful pastel patina, adding to its authentic vintage charm. The borders feature protective motifs, while the inner field is adorned with symbols of strength and abundance, making it a truly meaningful work of art. |
