Oriental Rugs of Bath have an extensive collection of handmade Turkish rugs that come in many sizes. All our Turkish rugs are hand woven by the best craftsmen in their areas respectfully. These master craftsmen follow time honoured traditional designs giving a great old world feel to your home. Firstly the wool is carded, washed and spun. In the villages of Anatolia, in Central Turkey, women can often be seen in the street, spinning by hand. The particular characteristics of the wool sheared from local sheep is often a subtle feature of the rug in terms of its texture and feel and nomadic carpets are often woven from wool taken from sheep bred by the weavers themselves. Whilst the vast majority of rugs are made from wool, certain more expensive pieces are woven from fine silk. But the Turkish rug does not have to be limited to the home. One of the great attractions of the Turkish rug as a resource for interior design is that it lends itself so well to combinations of the old and the new. One area in which it can be used to powerful effect is the modern office interior.
