RUGS
FROM TURKEY
Turkish rug designs reflect old world ancient
traditions with Persian influences. Unlike Persian
rugs however, rugs from Turkey are generally
more coarsely woven. Designs include geometric
motifs and less rigid figures, shapes and patterns,
often in red and blue colors. Turkish rugs from
Hereke are known to use calligraphy as a motif.
Some of the most decorative Turkish rugs are
produced in Oushak, a small town in west central
Anatolia, approximately 100 miles south of Istanbul.
Since the 15th century, Oushak has been a major
Turkish center of rug production.
