Vintage Turkish Milas Rug
197 x 144 cm (6'6" x 4'8")
This rug comes from Turkey, one of the oldest and most varied rug weaving traditions in the world. Turkish weaving spans an enormous range, from the refined city workshops of Istanbul and Hereke to the bold tribal rugs of the Anatolian villages and nomadic Kurdish weavers working across the mountainous interior. What unites them is a directness of design and a structural solidity that is distinctly Turkish.
Turkish rugs are hand-knotted using the symmetric Turkish knot, which produces a particularly durable and dense pile. The designs tend toward the geometric and angular, reflecting both the weaving technique and the tribal traditions behind them. Medallions, repeating motifs, strong borders and bold field patterns are the common vocabulary, though the specific expression varies enormously by region and weaver.
Hand-knotted from wool on a wool or cotton foundation. As a vintage piece, the colours have already mellowed and the pile has settled into a character that only time and natural dyes together produce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions we’re asked most often.
Will the rug look the same in person as it does online?
We take great care to photograph every rug in natural light, with no unnecessary editing, so the colours you see are as close to the real thing as possible. It’s something we’re genuinely proud of, customers often tell us how true our photos are to the actual rug. In all our years of selling rugs online, we’ve had fewer than 10 returns due to colour concerns.
Colours can still look slightly different depending on your screen settings and the lighting in your home, but if you’d like extra peace of mind, we can send additional photos or videos, or arrange a virtual or in-person viewing before you buy.
Can I view this rug in your Prahran store?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to visit our Prahran store or Rowville warehouse to see rugs in person. If you’ve seen something on our website that you’d like to view, let us know in advance or simply fill out the form below so we can have it ready for you.
