02Highlights

Four things that set this rug apart

Wool surface

On the surface: Wool, Cotton. The same pattern woven in another yarn becomes another rug; the difference shows at the first touch.

Tribal pattern

Tribal pattern. The motif is built while the rug is woven; there is no layer printed on afterward. There is orange, brown, terracotta in the ground.

Türkiye weaving tradition

This rug is woven in Türkiye. Where a rug is from is read in its knot and its yarn more than in its pattern; that is why the place on the spec sheet matters.

Professional cleaning

Cleaning method: Professional cleaning. Once a week with a head without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile, is enough for everyday care.

03Specifications

Technical details

The nature of handwork: Every woven rug is made one at a time, so sizes and color tones can vary by up to 3%. Small irregularities where the yarns cross are not faults; they are the signature of the weave.

Brown ground, ochre out of local plants: a Milas weave

TürkiyeWeaving regionWool · CottonPile yarnAnatolianPattern

The story of this rug

Milas lies inland from the Aegean in the Muğla district of southwestern Anatolia, and Turkmen households have been weaving there since they settled the area after 1261: Brown Anatolian Hand-Knotted Wool Milas Rug, 160 × 250 cm (5'3" × 8'2"), wool over cotton, in browns and ochres.

01Up close to the pattern

One piece. A Milas is recognized by its border before anything else about it. The band around the outside takes an unusual share of the whole surface, often carrying one small repeated device and sometimes carrying nothing, so the field it encloses reads narrow and the rug looks like a frame with a picture inside.

02Color, by the light

Color is the second mark. Milas weaving works madder for its reds and local plants for a range of yellows, which is where the ochre comes from, while undyed wool supplies the creams and the natural browns with no dye involved at all. Brown is the least demanding ground a patterned rug can have, and on an oak or walnut floor it settles into the wood rather than sitting on top of it — which will be exactly what one room needs and exactly what another cannot afford.

03What the yarn is

Wool makes the pile, and the warp and weft beneath are cotton. The knotting is by hand and the drawing came out of memory, so the border device does not fall the same distance from every corner.

04The mark of slow weaving

Professional washing when it genuinely needs it. Hand-knotted in the Milas manner of southwestern Anatolia. Wool for the pile and cotton for the structure under it. A wide border taking an unusual share of the surface, with a narrow field inside it. Browns and ochres, some of the color from undyed wool rather than dye. 160 × 250 cm (5'3" × 8'2") — a sitting area, a study, or a wide hall. Milas weaving dates to Turkmen settlement of the district after 1261. The border device lands unevenly at the corners; nothing was traced. Professional washing.

05Reading the motif

A single piece. On a wooden floor it will be the last thing a visitor notices and the first thing they ask about, which is what a wide border is for.

Which size fits your room?

The most common mistake in choosing a rug is buying too small. Here are the numbers, room by room:

Living room

At least the front legs of the sofas should sit on the rug. Leave 20–40 cm of floor showing around it.

Recommended: 200×290 · 240×340 · 300×380

Dining room

It should extend 60–75 cm beyond every edge of the table, so chairs do not catch when pulled back.

Recommended: 200×290 · 250×250 · 240×340

Bedroom

Either cover the lower two-thirds of the bed, or choose a size that extends 60–90 cm on three sides.

Recommended: 170×240 · 200×290 · 240×340

Hallway · runner

Choose one 25–30 cm shorter than the hallway, leaving 10–15 cm of floor on each side.

Recommended: 80×290 · 90×390 · 90×490

Care — three rules

Vacuum regularly

Use a head without a beater bar, in the direction of the pile. Once a week is enough; dust is lifted before it settles between the yarns.

Treat spills before they dry

Blot, do not rub. Dampen with a suitable cleaner and dry.

Leave washing to a professional

Household machines are not suitable for woven rugs. One professional wash a year is recommended.

Frequently asked

Which size should I choose for a living room?

At least the front legs of your sofas should sit on the rug. For a standard living room 200 × 290 cm is recommended; for wide rooms 240 × 340 cm or 300 × 380 cm. The scale plan on this page shows how much of a 520 × 420 cm room each size covers.

How long does shipping take, and what does it cost?

For international orders, shipping, duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and paid in advance; there is no cash on delivery. Rugs in stock leave Ankara within 1–3 business days.

Can I return it if I do not like it?

Yes. You can return it within 14 days of delivery, no questions asked. On international orders return shipping is paid by the buyer.

Will the color match what I see on screen?

Small differences in tone are possible depending on your screen. Open the images full screen to study the surface, and watch the review video where there is one. If you want to be sure, you can see the rug in person at our showroom in Çankaya, Ankara.

Can the rug be used over underfloor heating?

It depends on the pile height. Low-pile woven rugs work with underfloor heating and do not block the heat. If you are unsure, send the product code to Client Services on WhatsApp.
