For centuries, Oriental Carpets have been considered works of art. The earliest example
of knotted-pile carpet was found in a frozen
tomb at Pazyryk in Siberia and is now displayed
in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg,
Russia.
Turkey has one of the greatest weaving cultures
in history. Turkish carpets and rugs have a universal reputation for their unique designs,
color combinations and durability. Traditionally colors are extracted from vegetable and plant
dyes. Among the best known production centers
are Hereke, Istanbul, Yahyali, Milas, Kayseri,
Sivas and Isparta.
