The Anatolian plateau is where the weaving of oriental carpets originated. Rich in tradition and pride, each of the villages of the area produced a certain design and colors that the neighbors rarely copied. These antiques were largely illustrated in historical European paintings. Their bold geometrical designs and soft colors made them the favorites of interior designers.

Kilims and hand-knotted rugs without the pile. Knotted by tightly interweaving the warp and weft strands to produce a flat surface with no pile. Generally knotted on horizontal looms, this technique produces crisp geometrical designs. Being lighter in weight and softer to the touch than traditional pile carpets, kilims were also used as sofa covers, drapes, pillows, table covers, and wall hangings as tapestries and insulation from the extreme cold.
