The Milas carpet, with its varied colours and compositions, has an important place in Western Anatolian carpet production.
Instead of the colours used in
antique pieces, contemporary Milas carpets are made in pale, delicate tones
produced with vegetal dyes. The warp, weft and knots are
pure wool. The domƯnant colors are yellow , the colour of tobacco, dark and
Iight brown and reddish brown. The geometric patterns which
suit the production of pure wool carpets are the predominant design. Another
characteristic feature is the use of the ''mihrab'' (prayer niche) pattern.
Milas carpets are manufactured in a Iimited range of sizes.
