Kutaya Rug, 150 X 225 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool On Wool, Anatolia, Turkey, Circa 1970, Perfect

Kutaya rug in hand-knotted wool on wool, from eastern Turkey, eastern Anatolia, from the second half of the 20th century around 1970. In perfect condition, this piece measures 150 cm wide by 225 cm long. The patterns and colors of Kutaya are very close to Yürük carpets (an Anatolian ethnic group). The patterns of these first ones are more linear and the borders more simplified, the hooks around the edges of the diamonds disappear, however their decorations are very close to Caucasian carpets. The kutaya are more often of an elongated format such as: 80/100 x 200/220------ 130/150 x 225/250------120/130 cm x 300/320 cm. Knotted in wool on wool, we owe this type of carpet to the work of nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes such as the kutayas. They are fans of totally geometric stylistic designs and the use of colors whose arrangement is particularly harmonious, favoring blue, red and cream. These rugs are still tied in the villages but also in larger "cooperative" type workshops. The colors regularly used are blue, red, cream and a touch of curry yellow. This rug has been professionally and eco-friendly cleaned.
