Hand-knotted in the late 19th century, “Camel & Citadel” from the village of Büyük Bürüngüz offers a rare glimpse into Anatolian village storytelling through textiles. At its center lies a scalloped ivory medallion framed in a saturated crimson red field, surrounded by an unusual narrative border of camels, homes, and minarets, rendered in earthy ochre, olive, and beige tones. Such pictorial motifs are emblematic of village weaving, where artisans often embed daily life, community, and cultural memory into their designs. Its figural elements symbolize strength (camel), prosperity (home), and protection (hooked border motifs), echoing deeply rooted Anatolian traditions. The asymmetrical layout and rich palette lend the piece an expressive charm, ideal for collectors of ethnographic textiles.
Hand-knotted using the Ghiordes knot, Camel & Citadel is woven with resilient wool on a cotton foundation and made with natural dyes derived from plants. Camel & Citadel is a conversation starter; perfect as a focal point in reading corners, gallery-style interiors, or eclectic modern living rooms seeking warmth and storytelling.

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.
