What Are Turkish Rugs?
Hand-knotted Turkish carpets may be found in Anatolia, a region rich in heritage and history, both in cities and in rural areas. These carpets reflect a great succession of exceptional workmanship and unrelenting efforts from the committed weavers. These rugs combine age-old techniques with regional appeal and exquisite materials, well known for their geometric harmony and botanical patterns.
Turkish rugs, whether made of silk, cotton, or wool, are cultural relics, narrative vehicles, and long-term investments rather than only decorative items.
Design Inheritance Across Empires
Every Turkish rug has symbolic value in its design from the grand courts of the Ottoman Empire to artisan residences scattered across Anatolia. More than ornamental, floral vines, stars, diamonds, and defensive symbols mirror identity, values, and regional past.
