Konya Carpet is a valuable piece of Turkish handicrafts. These carpets, traditionally produced in and around the city of Konya, are produced with careful hand-weaving techniques and represent the rich heritage of Turkish carpet weaving. Wool and/or cotton threads are used in the production of Konya Carpets. These threads are traditionally colored with natural root dyes, which ensures that the carpets have vibrant and permanent colors. The patterns and motifs of the carpets reflect the historical and cultural richness of Konya. These motifs often include geometric shapes, plant motifs and abstract designs.
Konya Carpets are warm and durable, so they have been used in homes in the region for centuries. At the same time, these carpets are traditionally given as gifts at weddings and special ceremonies and are valuable artifacts that are passed on from generation to generation within families. These carpets, produced with the handiwork and dedication of artisans, attract great attention both in home decoration and in collecting. Konya Carpets are special works that reflect the rich tradition of Turkish carpet weaving and keep the cultural heritage alive.
