■ What Is a Turkish Rug?: A Turkish rug is a hand-knotted masterpiece, crafted using the symmetrical 'Ghiordes' knot—a double-knot technique unique to the Anatolian weaving tradition. These authentic vintage textiles are made from 100% natural wool and organic vegetable dyes, ensuring durability and a rich, soulful character that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. Each rug tells a story through ancient geometric symbols and tribal motifs, bringing timeless heritage and artisanal warmth to modern interior designs.
