Turkish carpets
Handwoven Anatolian textiles
Turkish carpets are handwoven rugs produced in Turkey, known for distinctive geometric patterns and rich colors.
The craft has centuries of tradition, with regional styles varying by village or province.
Turkish carpets typically use wool pile on cotton or wool foundations, with the double-knotted Gördes knot characteristic of the tradition.
They brought back a Turkish carpet from Istanbul.
