The Konya carpet is a geometric hand-knotted rug, its deep navy field carrying three stacked diamond medallions in mustard gold, rust, and ivory. The name recalls Konya, the historic Anatolian city where some of the earliest known Turkish carpets — geometric, Seljuk-era pieces — were discovered.Product Details Construction: Hand Knotted Material: Wool Colour: Navy Pattern: Geometric tribal medallions Style: Traditional, Anatolian Geometric Made in: Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India Where the curvilinear, floral Oushak tradition favours open fields and softened motifs, Konya draws on a different, older strand of Anatolian weaving — bold, angular geometry built from diamonds, stepped lines, and stylised tribal symbols. This style traces back through centuries of Anatolian tribal and village weaving, prized for its graphic clarity and structural precision. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Konya is built for generations of use.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat makes this design "geometric" rather than "floral"?Instead of curved vines and rounded florals, the pattern is built entirely from angular shapes — diamonds, steps, and stylised motifs — a tradition distinct from the softer, curvilinear Oushak style.Why is it named after Konya?Konya was a major centre of early Anatolian carpet weaving, home to some of the oldest surviving geometric Turkish carpets from the Seljuk era.What do the diamond medallions represent?Diamond and lozenge shapes are common protective and decorative motifs in Anatolian tribal weaving, often repeated in a vertical column as seen here.How is hand-knotted different from hand-tufted?Hand-knotted rugs are tied knot by knot entirely by hand onto a foundation, with no backing glue — slower to make and more durable than tufted construction.What is the pile material?Wool.How long does a hand-knotted rug last?With proper care, hand-knotted wool rugs are built to last for generations, not just years.Which room suits this rug best?Living rooms and studies — the bold geometric pattern works well in rooms with simpler, uncluttered furniture.How do I care for it?Vacuum regularly on suction only, blot spills with a dry cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and get professional cleaning periodically.
