Diverse in terrain and climate, Anatolia sits where Europe and Asia meet and is bordered by the Black and Aegean Seas. With a landscape of mountains and coastal plains, its summers are hot and its winters below freezing. It was originally out of necessity that these beautiful rugs were made, to keep warm the camps and homes of nomadic tribespeople.
Anatolian carpets are amongst the oldest and most striking in the world and we are continually blown away by their unparalleled beauty and high quality. Known for their intense colours, abstract designs and often floral motifs, they are the product of the region's treasured carpet weaving traditions that have been practiced for thousands of years.
This particular carpet is over 50 years old and boasts a traditional design in a bright, warm palette of red and crimson hues.
