Anatolia at the intersection of caravan roads and trade
routes , is one of the
most famous carpet manufacturing centres of Turkey .Here, carpets are produced
using a variety of techniques and materials. The thousands of looms are an
importaırt source of income for the town itself and the nearby villages.
Kayseri is the only centre where carpets of all sizes are manufactured. Kayseri
and Hereke are world centres for best quality natural silk carpets. The carpets
made with the natural silk produced in Bursa are very bright in colour and
extremely decorative. Fine knotting and close pile make every detail of the
design clearly visible. The same characteristics are found in the floss silk
carpets produced in Kayseri. The handmade carpets produced using floss silk are
very attractive and display excellent colour harmony .With their varying sizes,
they suit homes decorated in either classic or modern styles. These carpets
adorned with traditional floral designs, fill the home with joy and create an
atmosphere of a heavenly garden.
