[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4515107, member: 2844"]I see you found it.:) From what I gathered most of the carpet makers used to be Greek-Turkish, rather than Turkmen. That floral design isn't very Turkmen, but it is Turkish and Greek. Those roses are the symbol of Isparta, btw. Here is some more info on Isparta (Sparta) carpets: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpet_weaving_in_Isparta[/URL] Six metres, maybe made for a mosque? From your name I guess that you are Turkish yourself. There are many books in Turkish about Turkish culture, so I guess there are probably Turkish books on Isparta carpets, or Turkish carpets in general. Look for second hand books.;)[/QUOTE]
