This large Turkish Obruk rug showcases the influence of the Serapi tradition, reinterpreted through the distinctive weaving practices of Central Anatolia. Handknotted in wool with exceptional precision, the rug combines structural clarity with richly coloured detail, making it both a decorative centrepiece and a testament to skilled craftsmanship.
The field of the rug is rendered in a deep burnt orange tone—bold yet earthy—serving as a warm backdrop for the striking central medallion. This Persian blue lozenge is the focal point of the composition, extended vertically with two elegantly proportioned spokes that add balance and symmetry. Surrounding the medallion are finely executed floral head motifs in soft blues and pinks, adding intricacy without overwhelming the central structure.
Framing the design is a pastel yellow border, adorned with stylised floral patterns that carry a geometric rhythm. The juxtaposition of soft, warm tones with refined angular detailing contributes to the rug’s harmony and visual interest.
Rooted in Turkish Obruk weaving tradition and informed by Persian Serapi aesthetics, this rug is ideal for large spaces seeking both colour and compositional strength. Its robust wool construction and finely knotted detail ensure both durability and artistic depth.
