Yagcibedir carpet Balikesir, Türkiye, 50s

Yaqcedebir (also Yagcibedir) carpets are a type of carpets knotted in Western Anatolia, more specifically in the village of Balikesir, a town in the Marmara region of Turkey. They are believed to have been first made by former nomadic tribes called Yayci Yoruks who lived around the villages of Sindirgi and Bigadic. Lambswool is used to make them, and the colors red, indigo blue and white are common in the patterns, but shades of cream, red and brown are also found in some carpets. Yagcibedir carpets are famous for their creative patterns. Although the patterns in these rugs are usually very simple, each rug is intended to tell a story with these simple patterns and colors. Patterns in Yagcibedir carpets include sun, eagles, trees, cherries, tulips, stars and apples. Each pattern in these carpets has a specific meaning related to Turkey's centuries-long history and fascinating culture. A beautiful example in bright colors. In good vintage condition.
