About Carpet Products in Turkey

Carpet making is one of the oldest industries in which man has ever worked, and carpet weaving is a traditional art dating back to pre-Islamic times.

Historians believe that the first home of the hand carpet industry is Central Asia and Anatolia, as the tribes that inhabited there were making carpets with great professionalism, to be used in tents to cover walls and floors, and then turned into a craft for trade and money-making.

Carpets in Turkey are known as one of the finest and most luxurious carpets in the world, woven using raw materials made up of wool, cotton or natural and industrial silk, and are linked by symmetrical knots, and vary in size from pillow size to room size.

Turkish carpet products have certain characteristics in terms of dyes, colours, designs, textures and techniques, usually decorated with gold and decorated lines, featuring bright colours and Islamic decorations, sometimes decorated with Ottoman letters.
