Turkish carpets are among the most sought after household items all over the world since Marco Polo commented on their beauty and artistry in the 13th century. Their rich colours, warm tones, and extraordinary patterns with traditional motifs have contributed to the status that Turkish carpets have maintained since the 13th century. A number of carpets from this period, known as the Seljuk carpets, were discovered in several mosques in central Anatolia, underneath many layers of subsequently placed carpets. The Seljuk carpets are today in the museums in Konya and Istanbul. It is very exciting to imagine that we may be looking at the very same carpets that Marco Polo praised in the year 1272.
Turkish rugs are famous for their brightly colour combinations, this one is hard wearing and very beautifully woven motifs and designs.
