Döşemealtı Carpet

Age: 60+ years

As one of the most powerful representatives of Antalya's Döşemealtı Yoruk culture, this carpet immediately presents an impressive character with the deep and rich red tones of natural dyes. The geometric medallions repeated in the body and motifs reminiscent of the tree of life symbolize fertility, continuity, and protection.

Produced with traditional Yoruk weaving techniques, high knot density, and entirely by hand, this piece stands out for both its durability and the natural color transitions that become more beautiful with age. The fine details and contrasting transitions in the borders clearly reveal the level of craftsmanship.

With its vibrant color palette, strong design language, and cultural depth, this Döşemealtı carpet is not merely a decorative item, but also a distinguished work with collector's value, imparting identity to any space.
