The Erzurum carpet is a geometric hand-knotted rug, its slate-blue field carrying five octagonal medallions in ivory and blue, framed by a cream border with tribal motifs. The name recalls Erzurum, the eastern Anatolian city long associated with tribal and village geometric weaving traditions.

Where the curvilinear, floral Oushak tradition favours open fields and softened motifs, Erzurum draws on the older, angular strand of Anatolian weaving — five octagonal medallions, one at centre and four in the corners, set against a slate-blue ground. This structured, repeating layout has roots in eastern Anatolian tribal and village weaving traditions. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Erzurum is built for generations of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this design "geometric" rather than "floral"?
Instead of curved vines and rounded florals, the pattern is built entirely from angular octagonal shapes — a tradition distinct from the softer, curvilinear Oushak style.
Why is it named after Erzurum?
Erzurum, in eastern Anatolia, has a long-standing tribal and village weaving tradition known for bold geometric medallions.
What do the octagonal medallions represent?
Repeating octagonal shapes are a recurring protective and decorative motif in Anatolian tribal weaving.
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?
100% New Zealand 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 structured 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.
