The vintage rugs offered in the Hemp Bouquet collection were all handwoven in the Anatolian countryside by village women for their home use. Most date from the mid 1900s. There are regional similarities in design and motifs, yet no two rugs are the same and the diversity is astounding.

This finely crafted traditional vintage hemp rug was woven in the inland Black Sea region of Anatolia. The pure hemp handspun warp and weft foundation is embellished with triple, naturally-dyed hemp bands and floating weft “burdock” and “hook” motifs of dyed wool and synthetic yarns. Woven on a vertical loom with a hemp warp, one end is finished with interlocked loops, and the other with a double-knotted fringe.

Subtle, dyed walnut bands complement the naturally cream colored hemp foundation, forming a superb canvas for the carefully placed array of striking weft float motifs. Long hemp rugs are uncommon and make excellent runners for hallways and entrances.
