Production
Turkish
carpet weaving traces its roots to central Asia where skills and
patterns have been passed down from generation to generation. Carpet
weaving is a collective work. In earlier times as well as today,
families, tribes or even whole villages worked, pulling their resources.
Turkish carpets are
not only expertise and experience. Geometrical designs such as stars,
squares, hexagons and octagons
are distinctive from carpets produced in neighboring countries,
but they are also distinctive according to the region within Turkey
in which they are woven. Even through Turkish carpetsunderwent design
changes over the centuries, these main characteristics still remain
intact and can be seen in carpets produced today. A high quality
handmade carpet is an attractive heirloom which can be passed down
from generation to generation.
They
are always complementary to settings in which they are found, whether
that be with rare and valuable objects of art or with contemporary,
modern furnishings. No matter what purpose they serve, with their
beautiful designs and colors, handmade carpets create a pleasing
and cozy atmosphere in the rooms in which they are used. The owners
and adenines of such carpets will certainly realize that these works
of art are creations, even though the artisans who created them
are anonymous.
