Yahyali Carpet Of Ancient Prayer, 118 Cm X 228 Cm, Anatolia, Turkey, Beginning Of XXth Century

Old carpet of the Yahyahli tribe, originally from eastern Turkey, in eastern Anatolia from the early twentieth century in used condition.
The patterns and colors of Yahyahlis are very close to Yürüks rugs, but the patterns of these first are more linear and the borders are more simplified, the hooks around the edges of the diamonds disappear, however their decorations are very close to Caucasian rugs.
Yahyahlis are more often of an elongated format of 80/100 x 200/220 and 120/130 cm x 300/320 cm long. Knotted in wool on wool, we owe this rug to the work of nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes, the Yahyahlis, who adhere to completely geometric stylistic designs and the use of colors whose arrangement is particularly harmonious.
These tribes have a particularity the use of polygonal medallions, simple or in two aligned in the vertical axis of the carpet, style which one does not find on the prayer carpets. Our model presents us with a long geometric old pink mihrab decorated with trees of life, the whole set on a black field strewn with flowers, kotchaks, stylized combs.
The curry yellow borders are decorated with geometric patterns and have the symbol of eternity on each side. . The pigments used for this carpet are of natural origin, curry yellow, black, brown, old pink and blue. The carpet ends with small fringes. The wool is soft and one can at leisure put this type of carpet front or back. The last photo shows a carpet of the Yahyahli tribe, present on our gallery, a little older carpet than this one with magnificent colors and a superb decoration which make the beauty of the old Yahyahlis and all the wonderful Anatolian carpets
. Slight wear but in very good condition compared to its age, a room that deserves a wall rather than a floor to accommodate it.
This carpet has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.
