$4,200.00
Hand-knotted in the late 19th century, “Ornis Aurelia” (Golden Bird – Greek) is a rare and exquisitely detailed hand-knotted piece for its richly symbolic design and mature, subdued palette. This antique textile features an all-over composition of scrolling floral motifs and carefully placed bird figures, creating a tableau reminiscent of a stylized garden or heavenly orchard. Rendered in faded terracotta, soft beige, and olive-tinted greens with muted blue accents, the field is alive with flowing botanical motifs and winged creatures. The sparrows carry profound symbolism of joy, the spirit, or messages from the divine. Their pairing with blossoming flora alludes to love, harmony, and the eternal bond between soul and nature. A robust floral border with repeating palmettes encloses the central scene, reinforcing themes of life, growth, and containment of paradise within a frame.
Crafted using the traditional Ghiordes knot with old Italian-Floss on a cotton foundation, Ornis Aurelia demonstrates refined workmanship and durability. Dating to the late 19th century, it maintains structural integrity while offering the patina and wear that appeals to serious collectors of aged Anatolian works. Perfect as a statement piece in a reading room, music salon, or boutique entryway, this rug invites intimate reflection and adds poetic charm to thoughtfully curated interiors.
Motifs: Scrolling floral motifs / Bird figures / Sparrows / Blossoming flora / Palmettes
The collection of over 400 selected rugs are sought as works of art, rather than stored/hidden artifacts. More than a gallery, The Mansion is a sanctuary where antique rugs are displayed in their full splendor, revealing their textures, colors, and motifs. It is a reminder of the history of the region, its architectural heritage and the enduring legacy of the artisan-rug-weavers who have created this remarkable story as part of their lives.
For collectors, appraisers, and auction house representatives seeking collaboration, the doors of Orhan Konagı remain open.
