The Visual Language of Turkish Kilims
Turkish carpets and kilims not only reflect the place where they were made, they reflect the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the makers. Like the colors in Turkish kilims, the motifs tell a vivid story. They often represent the desire for happiness, security and family. While curating our most recent collection with Ernemet Carpets, we took the opportunity to point out a few of the more common motifs.
