Heritage Collection - Antique Golmarmara Rug 3'8"x4'8"

$1,850

Antique Golmarmara rug from the 1870s is a valuable and unique piece of history and art. As a Yörük rug, it represents the traditional weaving practices of the nomadic tribes of Turkey and showcases the region's rich cultural heritage.

The fact that it is made entirely of lambswool and features high-quality natural dyes indicates that it was crafted using traditional techniques and materials. Natural dyes, which are derived from plants, insects, and minerals, were commonly used in rug weaving before the introduction of synthetic dyes in the 19th century. Natural dyes have the advantage of producing long-lasting, vibrant colors that do not fade or bleed over time.

The unique design and patterns of the Golmarmara rug likely reflect the cultural and religious beliefs of the nomads. These designs often incorporate symbols and motifs that have been passed down through generations and are deeply rooted in the tribe's history and traditions. As such, this rug is not only a work of art but also a cultural artifact that represents a rich and fascinating aspect of Turkish history.

Dimensions: 3'8"x4'8"
