The Ankara carpet is a tribal-inspired hand-knotted rug, its sage-green field scattered with small floral and star medallions in purple, orange, and cream, framed by a bold mustard-yellow border with terracotta hook motifs. The name recalls Ankara, Turkey's capital and a crossroads of Anatolian weaving traditions.

Ankara carries a livelier, more colourful register than the softest Oushaks — small, scattered medallions rather than one dominant centrepiece, bordered by a graphic hook-and-diamond pattern typical of Anatolian tribal weaving. This scattered-motif layout has roots in village and nomadic weaving traditions across Turkey, where smaller repeated symbols were used rather than a single formal medallion. Hand-knotted strand by strand, Ankara is built for generations of use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a "tribal" design?
Rather than one large central medallion, the pattern uses small, scattered floral and star motifs — a layout rooted in Anatolian village and nomadic weaving traditions.
Why is it named after Ankara?
Ankara, Turkey's capital, sits at a historic crossroads of Anatolian weaving traditions from across the region.
What does the border pattern represent?
The hook-and-diamond border motifs are a recurring protective symbol 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 eclectic spaces — the scattered, colourful pattern works well as a playful accent rather than a formal centrepiece.
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.
