Traditional Red Kashan Turkish Area Rug - Anatolian Carpet

Original owner, handmade and brought from Turkey. Double-knotted and each piece of yarn is looped twice as it makes the rug sturdier and more durable. It is produced by forming rows of loops by knotting each pair of warp threads, arranged side by side in a frame, with threads and compressing at least one row of wefts. Hand-knotted rugs became the cultural symbol of Turkey in a short time. The history of these remarkably well-made, handwoven rugs are based on the weaving tradition that the Turks who migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia brought with them from their homeland. Not only they are used to cover the pile-woven floor or the wall at houses, but also for local sale and export. They are popular for the beautiful and intricate patterns, rich and naturally-dyed colors and the fabulous weaves which will continue to represent the ethnic, religious and cultural diversity and artistic language of Turkish culture.
