A wonderfully thick and plush antique Bergama rug, with a beautiful range of colours and an unmistakable village character. A deep indigo blue runs throughout the composition, brought to life by the exceptional quality of the wool.
The oversized central design occupies almost the entire field, framed by two large blue motifs that give the composition a strong sense of structure and balance.
The striking design, pristine condition, exceptional wool quality, and full, thick pile make this rug a particularly desirable collector’s piece.

Bergama Rugs
Bergama carpet refers to handwoven Turkish rugs made in the Bergama district in the coastal Izmir Province of northwest central Turkey along the Aegean Sea – and where the history of rugmaking dates back to as early as the 11th century. One of the most westernized cities in Turkey, the metropolitan city of Izmir extends along the outlying waters of the Gulf of Izmir and, after Istanbul and Ankara, is the third most populous city in Turkey. Bergama, a district made up of around 70-80 villages within Izmir Province, is also the name of the district’s capital city.
What makes a Bergama rug instantly recognizable is the combination of bold geometry and disciplined spacing. While styles vary, strong Bergama rugs typically feel “architectural”—motifs are placed with intent, borders frame the field with confidence, and color supports structure rather than cluttering it.
