. "A Turkish carpet is a knotted, pile-woven floor or wall covering which is produced mainly in Anatolia and neighbouring areas, for home use, local sale, and export. Along with flat-woven kilim, Turkish carpets form an essential part of Turkish culture. Carpet weaving represents a traditional art, dating back to pre-Islamic times. During its long history, the art and craft of the woven carpet has integrated different cultural traditions."@en . . .
