Dosemealti nomad rugs, Village rugs & Tribal carpets

Dosemealti nomad rugs (or also known as Dosemealti Village rugs or Tribal carpets) are renowned for their thick pile, powerful images, and rich colours. These nomad rugs are hand-knotted by the semi-nomadic tribes in the Antalya region of Turkey. These people live on the Mediterranean Coast in the valleys of the Taurus Mountains where the climate can turn cold.

This means they have learned to create Dosemealti rugs that can withstand the cold temperatures and help keep them warm. These tribal carpets are placed on the floors and walls of their homes to keep out the cold and give them warmth and comfort. There are 23 villages located in the mountains and there are two tribes, the Karakoyunlu and Sarikecili nomadic tribes, that create the incredible Dosemealti rugs.

The thick piles of the Dosemealti nomad rugs are made from wool and are dyed with natural plant-based dyes. Rugs made from hand-spun wool are of the best quality and in the region of the Taurus Mountains men spin wool right alongside the women, something that is unheard of in other regions of Turkey. Dosemealti rugs can contain up to 200,000 to 300,000 knots per square meter and they are made in various sizes and shapes, such as large area rugs, small area rugs, prayer rugs, and runner rugs.

Dosemealti nomad rugs are known for their vivid colours, primarily blues, reds, and white. These colours are used to create geometric shapes and animal designs, animals such as eagle wings (signifying freedom), camels (signifying movement), and scorpions (signifying honour). Rams horns are also a popular symbol used in the design of Dosemealti rugs and they signify leadership. These geometric shapes and animals are used to make medallion designs and the rugs have very elaborate borders. Some of the most common geometric shapes include the “Tree of Life”, the “Crescent”, the “Scorpion”, and the “Cross.”
